Location

Kårdal Station (Norwegian: Kårdal holdeplass) is a railway station on the Flåm Line at Kårdal in Aurland Municipality, Norway. It is located 6.34 kilometers (3.94 mi) from Myrdal Station, 341.95 kilometers (212.48 mi) from Oslo Central Station and 557 meters (1,827 ft) above mean sea level. The station opened on 16 June 1946. It is the station that traditionally served the farm furthest up in the valley of Flåmsdalen. Because the station is located on a gradient, only trains heading downhill can stop at the station. The station has been unused since around 2015.
