Holiday in Flåm

What makes Flåm special as a destination?

Flåm is a tiny village at the end of the Aurlandsfjord — and yet one of the most visited travel destinations in Norway. The reason for this is the Flåmsbana, one of the steepest railway lines in the world, which winds 20 kilometers through a dramatic fjord landscape of waterfalls, steep mountain slopes, and narrow valleys. The ride is considered one of the most beautiful train journeys ever. The village itself is picturesque by the emerald-green fjord water, framed by mountains up to 1,800 meters high. Cruise ships and Hurtigruten make stops here, hikers start tours to the Stegastein viewpoint or through the Flåmsdalen valley. The Nærøyfjord boat tour, a UNESCO-protected arm of the Sognefjord, takes you through one of the narrowest and most dramatic fjord landscapes in the world. In summer, Flåm offers kayaking tours on the fjord, zipline adventures, cycling tours along the Rallarvegen route, and hikes to pastures with panoramic views. In winter, the landscape transforms into a snowy fairy tale with cross-country ski trails and the magical winter version of the Flåmsbana. Flåm is best experienced as part of the legendary Norway in a Nutshell Tour — a round trip that combines train, bus, and ferry, connecting the most spectacular landscapes of Western Norway.
