On the shores of the Aurlandsfjord, Flåm is a natural haven of steep mountains, plunging waterfalls and fertile valleys, reached via the wonder of the Flåm Mountain Railway, one of the most spectacular train journeys in Europe.

Beginning in Myrdal, this unique journey is one of Norway’s most spectacular attractions. Descending over 860 metres this masterpiece of engineering takes in no fewer than twenty one hand carved tunnels, a 1:18 gradient and breathtaking views of the Flåm Valley, as it winds its way along its 20 km course. One of the world’s steepest railways, the hour-long journey provides an unforgettable and captivating experience amongst some of Norway’s most majestic and dramatic landscapes.

A number of excursions are available locally, including boat trips on the Aurland and Nærøy fjords, kayaking and glacier walking, salmon fishing in the Flåm River, guided walks and hikes along the old trails of the Flåm Valley and the Berkvam Ravine and the stunning Aurland Valley, as well as a visit to the exquisite mountain enclave of Undredal, to visit its tiny stave church.
