Flåm is one of Norway’s most beloved fjord destinations, a tiny village tucked at the head of the Aurlandsfjord, a beautiful arm of the vast Sognefjord. Despite its small size, its majestic setting amid towering mountains, waterfalls and green valleys makes it one of the most spectacular spots on the entire Norwegian coast.
The village sits surrounded by soaring peaks that plunge to the deep, calm water of the fjord, with waterfalls tumbling from the heights and traditional farms dotting the slopes. From here the wider Sognefjord, the longest and deepest in Norway, opens up for exploration.
Flåm is also famous for its historic mountain railway, one of the most scenic train journeys in the world, which climbs dramatically through the mountains past thundering waterfalls and offers breathtaking views. It adds a memorable excursion to any visit.
Ashore, the village offers a warm welcome, hiking trails and beautiful surroundings, all set amid overwhelming natural grandeur. Its combination of drama and calm is appealing.
With its majestic fjord setting and famous railway, Flåm is a beautiful Norwegian gem. Guests can anchor amid towering peaks, ride a spectacular mountain railway and explore the deep, calm waters of the beautiful Aurlandsfjord and Sognefjord.
