Flåm

The Aurlandsfjord defines the setting of Flåm — this narrow arm of the Sognefjord brings the water deep into a steep-sided valley, shaping both the settlement and its transport links. Flåm is best known as the terminus of the Flåm Railway, which climbs from the fjord to the mountain station at Myrdal and has connected the village with Norway’s rail network since 1940. The nearby Nærøyfjord forms part of the West Norwegian Fjords UNESCO World Heritage site, recognised for its dramatic fjord landscape. Small-scale farming, cruise traffic and year-round rail travellers give this compact place an unusually international rhythm.
