-For VY, Bergensbanen and the beautiful mountain stretch between Oslo and Bergen, it was only natural to go for an audio guide that can tell the good stories adapted to what the travelers see out of the train window, Linn Therese explains. What could be better than relaxing, enjoying a good coffee, having a nice view and having the good stories told in your ear, she smiles, and asks if I know why all the barns are red.
- The train ride over the mountain is fantastic in many ways, with a lot to experience along the way

-VY wants to showcase all that beautiful Norway and the places along the route have to offer – everything from important Norwegian history, local stories, and what you can experience at several of the great destinations along the route. The stories are suitable for adults and school-age children, says Linn Therese.
Storytelling in 8 languages
-We have many foreign tourists who we believe will appreciate hearing the stories in their own language. We therefore choose to offer the audio guide in German, Spanish, French, English, Japanese, Mandarin, Italian , as well as Norwegian.
We have unearthed the good stories
– It’s hard to choose which story I like best, there are so many great stories! As a Bergen resident, it’s great to hear all that the beautiful West Norway has to offer, but perhaps my favorite is the story of the Graveyard. To hear how they measured and calculated using triangulation, then dug out the tunnel manually and ended up with only a 4 cm deviation – it puts things into perspective and you gain quite a lot of respect for what lies behind the construction of the railway line as we knows it today, says a dedicated customer experience advisor at Vy.
Exciting stories, myths and legends
- About ghosts at Ask “castle”
- The murder on the Bergen Railway
- The sea snake at Krøderen
- The monster on the Bergen Railway
- The world’s first glacier airport

In addition to having good solutions for language support, and supplementary content such as images.
VY chose Experio

The process has been clear and things have all gone as planned, which has given us good predictability and security, Linn Therese concludes happily.
