Highly recommend taking this route instead of the worlds longest tunnel. Raw nature, sheep, small “ice bergs”, lakes, rivers, snow, raw rock and breath taking views - basically what you would expect going over the mountain. Would love to take my bike on this route some time as well - bring warm cloth ;)

Fantastic. If you stay in Aurland you should definitely drive the amazing narrow road up to Stegastein. Coming up, the view is amazing and scary???????????? Enjoy if you like heights????

Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 63 reviews
On the hills surrounded by powerful mountains, and with a spectacular view of the fjord, you will find Otternes Farm. The farm consisting of 27 buildings, each with its own function, was probably cleared for cultivation before the Black Death. In addition the old cultural landscape with hills, wells, stairs and stone structure is intact. Experience old handcraft techniques and food made in traditional style. Open: 1000-1700 daily. Guided tours at: 10.00 + 12.00 +14.00 + 16.00.

We were here in mid August and were th only ones. You can walk here from Flam. We were driving and it is 1 or 2 minutes off the main road between Flam & Aurland. Spectacular views down to the fjord. We got to explore the old buildings without crowds.

A mere 20 minute walk from the port you’ll walk over the waterfall’s lower river before seeing a sign and turning right up a steep path, this then changes into steps and then steep natural paths which takes 30 minutes from the road you’ll see a clearing and a view point sign, do not continue up as the terrain gets harder and there are no viewpoints for another 30mins or so. I’d only advise this if you are okay shape and confident as it can be a bit slippery and steep especially on the way down. The viewpoint is incredible, the full length of the waterfall captures the left side of the view and the rest is filled with Flåm, the fjords and The Valley which the railway follows. I could have sat there for hours.

The best way to see the fjord landscape is from above! This excursion brings you through the favourite hiking terrain among the locals, 1000 meters above the famous Sognefjorden. The path twists along the edge of the mountain in an altitude there are no trees growing, which means that you are able to watch miles of spectacular scenery around you during most of the trip. We walk up the mountainside as far as you are comfortable with, before returning down through a short distance of coniferous forest. The hiking trip ends by the viewpoint at Stegastein. Tickets may be purchased in combination with a sightseeing bus ride, or seperately if you have your own transport.

As a 25 km long tunnel it is great, gets you from Lærdal to Aurland in no time (roughly 18 minutes). If you have the time, suitable vehicle and mountain driving skills, take the mountain road instead as the tunnel is boring.

A great museum to get an overall feel for the overall history of the local area. It's not really big, so doesn't take a lot of time. It might be free, but we think definitely deserves a donation on the way out.
