Lærdalsøyri

Lærdalsøyri lies at the mouth of the Lærdalselvi on Lærdalsfjorden in Vestland, Norway, where a narrow river valley opens onto an arm of the Sognefjord. The preserved wooden buildings of Gamle Lærdalsøyri recall the settlement’s long role as a trading place and stopping point on routes between western Norway and the interior. Lærdalselvi is one of Norway’s noted salmon rivers, while the surrounding valley leads towards high mountain country. The 24.5-kilometre Lærdal Tunnel, part of the E16, links the area with Aurland and is the world’s longest road tunnel.
