Flåm is a charming village of 350 people, nestled on the shores of Aurlandsfjord, a branch of Norway’s longest and deepest fjord, Sognefjord. It’s located in Aurland municipality. Thanks to its stunning nature, dramatic mountains and narrow fjord, Flåm (and its surroundings – Nærøyfjord, Aurland and Gudvangen) was added as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2005.
Over the years, Flåm has become one of the most important tourist destinations in Norway, due to its rich nature, popular steep railway “Flåmsbana”, majestic scenery, and views of the longest fjord in Norway, Sognefjord. The local river has been well known for salmon fishing for hundreds of years, dating back to the first British tourists that visited the area for sport fishing.
The village of Flåm is a peaceful destination, suitable for nature lovers. It offers stunning views,such as the one from the Stegastein viewpoint. Only a 30 minute drive from Flåm, following one of the 18 Norwegian National Scenic routes (from Aurland in the direction of Lærdal), you’re able to enjoy a fantastic view over Aurlandsfjord, surrounded by stunning mountains, formed millions of years ago.
More spectacular views are waiting to be discovered in the surroundings of the Stalheim hotel, a popular destination between travelers and artists from all over the world. The hotel offers unique views of Nærøy valley, from 368 meters above sea level (1207 feet). Stalheim hotel has a rich history dating back to the 17th century, when its strategic location made it a perfect stopover between Bergen and other inland cities.
Borgund Stave Church, located in the surroundings of Flåm is a candidate for the UNESCO World Heritage Site and is definitely worth visiting. Its intricate wooden carvings, steep roofs, and staves that form the structure shows one of the best examples of the Norwegian traditional stave churches.
Lærdalsøyri, located on the shore of Lærdalfjord, a short distance away from Borgund Stave Church is also a popular tourist destination. Its well-preserved wooden houses will welcome you with its historic and picturesque atmosphere. Lærdalsøyri is a perfect example of a village with a rich trading and shipbuilding history.
