Why visit Flam?

Framed by sheer cliffs rising straight from the Aurlandsfjord, Flåm is a fjord-side settlement where engineering marvels meet plunging waterfalls. Board the Flåm Railway at Flåm Station for a twenty-kilometer ascent past the roaring Kjosfossen waterfall to Myrdal Station, traversing nearly twenty tunnels carved into solid rock. Hikers can tackle the Rallarvegen or the steep switchbacks of the Aurlandsdalen valley, descending toward Vassbygdi to take in the glacial expanse.

Down at the shoreline, the cuisine leans into regional West Norwegian harvests. Stop by the Ægir BrewPub, housed in a Norse-mythology-inspired timber building, to pair locally brewed craft beer with cured reindeer or pan-fried mountain trout. Afterward, walk along the wooden docks of Flåm Marina or embark on a rigid inflatable boat safari into the narrow, UNESCO-protected Nærøyfjord to spot harbor seals resting on submerged boulders beneath the towering heights of Bakka and Undredal.
