Salhusfjorden defines the setting of Flatøy — its island shoreline and maritime links shape daily life on the northern approaches to Bergen. The island belongs to Alver municipality in Vestland, where settlements, roads and boat traffic are woven into western Norway’s fragmented coast. Nordhordland Bridge carries the E39 across the fjord between Flatøy and Bergen’s mainland; opened in 1994, its combined cable-stayed and floating-pontoon design is a landmark of Norwegian bridge engineering. Flatøy shows how Bergen’s urban fringe meets the island-dotted coastal districts of Nordhordland. Browse additional webcams from the Bergen area to extend your view of coastal Vestland.
