Norway

In Norway, FIP can be used on the public passenger rail services of the railway undertakings commissioned by the state. The traffic packages are awarded in tendering procedures by the Norwegian Ministry of Transport and Communications.

Vy Group AS is printed on the FIP Card and the FIP Coupons, but travel is possible on the trains of the operators Vy Tog, SJ Nord and Go-Ahead Nordic. Details can be found on the operator page.

You can search for trains using the journey planner. In the More Information section for each train, the operator is specified. For cross-border connections, multiple operators are often involved.

(The operator information is correct in almost all cases. Outside Germany, operator details may be incorrect if train numbers are used more than once.)

The Norwegian railway network is rather small by international comparison, but it is technically well maintained and exceptionally scenic. The focus is on long main routes between Oslo and the most important regions. Important lines include the Bergen Line, Dovre Line, Sørland Line and the Nordland Line to Bodø.

The trains are predominantly modern, clean and comfortable, although the standard on long-distance routes is higher than in regional transport. Frequencies are usually lower outside the greater Oslo area. Punctuality is generally considered good, but can be limited due to weather conditions such as snow, storms or avalanche risk.

Particularly noteworthy are the scenically spectacular routes with fjords, high mountains and numerous tunnels, as well as several architecturally striking railway stations, especially along the newer extensions in the Oslo area.

The state-owned company Entur plays a central role in public transport in Norway. Timetables can be checked and tickets for all public transport in Norway can be booked via the website and app.

Sweden

Entry from Sweden is possible on the following routes:

• Gothenburg – Halden – Oslo
• Stockholm – Karlstad – Kongsvinger – Oslo
• Luleå – Narvik
• Storlien – Trondheim

FIP is valid across the border only on the Storlien – Trondheim route. ¹

On the routes via Halden and Kongsvinger, FIP is valid only on the Norwegian section; an additional SJ ticket is required for the Swedish section, as FIP is not accepted there. In addition, on the route via Kongsvinger, FIP is recognized only when using trains operated by Vy Tog Norge, but not on trains of Vy Tåg Sverige or SJ Sverige.
