Finse Station (Norwegian: Finse stasjon) is located in the mountain village of Finse in the municipality of Ulvik in Vestland county, Norway. The station is served by up to seven daily (peak days only) express trains in each direction, normally three per day and one overnight trains, all operated by Vy Tog.[1] The Finse Tunnel begins just west of the village and the Rallarvegen goes through the village.
The station also features a navvy museum, dedicated to the builders of the railways in Norway.[2] One of Norway's popular hiking trails also starts at the station and ends in the village of Aurlandsvangen after a four-day trek.[3] Finse station is the only access point to Hardangerjøkulen; the glacier is clearly visible from the station area and the village.
