Kårdal Station (Norwegian: Kårdal holdeplass) is a railway station in Aurland, Norway, on the Flåm Line. It is 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 2015 - 16 Flåmsbana timetable lists the station as disused.
