Discover the Charming Town of Flåm in Norway

Nestled within the Aurlandsfjord, a branch of the renowned Sognefjord, Flåm is surrounded by towering mountains, breathtaking waterfalls, and deep valleys, earning its reputation as Norway's most beautiful town. If time permits, consider spending two days here to fully immerse yourself in the quintessential Norwegian scenery. 🚂 Experience the Most Scenic Train Journey The Flåm Mountain Railway stretches 20 kilometers, ascending from the low-lying fjord to the mountains with an elevation difference of about 900 meters, making it one of Europe's most spectacular railways. Along the route, you'll witness Norway's pristine and majestic natural beauty. The train stops for a few minutes at the Rjoandefossen waterfall, allowing you to disembark and enjoy the view and performances. 🥾 Hiking There are several hiking trails in the town, and you can get a map from the visitor center. One option is the hike to Brekkefossen waterfall, which takes about two hours round trip and is relatively challenging. Alternatively, choose the easier Flåm Church trail, starting from Flåm Station to the wooden church built in 1667, offering pleasant river and mountain views along the way. 🛥️ Fjord Cruise The fjord scenery from Flåm to Gudvangen is unforgettable, so remember to bring a hat and scarf. ⛩️ Flåm Railway Museum Located next to the train station, this museum offers insights into the history of the Flåm Railway. 🏔️ Stegastein Viewpoint Situated 650 meters above the Aurlandsfjord, it's the best spot to overlook the fjord, 17 kilometers from Flåm. If you're not driving, you can rent an Emobility mini electric car or take a minibus from the visitor center, where tickets are available. The scenery along the way to the viewpoint is also quite impressive. ☕️ Bakkastova offers excellent coffee.
