Flåm

Flam, locally spelled Flåm, has served as a fjord settlement in Vestland since the Middle Ages. It lies at the inner end of Aurlandsfjord, a branch of the vast Sognefjord, where steep valley sides define both the village and its approach by water. The Flåm Railway, opened in 1940, runs 20.2 kilometres to Myrdal, connecting there with the Bergen Line and making the settlement an important rail-and-fjord stop. Flåm Church, a wooden building from 1667, provides a quieter historical counterpoint to the transport hub. Follow nearby webcams to discover different parts of Flåm and Aurlandsfjord.
