Flåm
Tucked along the innermost reach of Aurlandsfjord, Flåm is a place whose character is shaped by a narrow valley enclosed by steep mountains. Aurlandsfjord is an arm of the Sognefjord, Norway’s longest and deepest fjord, and the settlement stands where the Flåm River meets its waters. The Flåm Railway climbs from the village to Myrdal on the Bergen Line, linking fjord travel with the high-mountain rail network; it opened in 1940. The E16 follows the valley floor towards Aurland, passing cultivated fields, homes and transport infrastructure. With a small permanent population and a major role in Norwegian fjord tourism, Flåm is a compact settlement shaped by water, valley land and rail connections.

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.

Among the regions of Norway, Vestland stands out for fjords that cut deep into a coast backed by high mountains. Sognefjord, Norway’s longest and deepest fjord, reaches far inland, while Hardangerfjord is closely associated with orchards and spring blossom. The county extends from wave-battered islands and sheltered coastal communities to valleys, waterfalls and upland terrain. Bergen, Vestland’s largest city, developed as a Hanseatic trading centre; its wooden Bryggen wharf is a UNESCO World Heritage site. Maritime life, mountain routes and farming communities meet here.

Norway has served as a seafaring link between the North Atlantic and northern Europe since the Viking Age. Its long coastline is cut by fjords, while the Lofoten archipelago rises sharply from the Norwegian Sea and the mountains of Jotunheimen include Galdhøpiggen, Norway’s highest peak. Bergen’s Bryggen, the former Hanseatic wharf, recalls centuries of maritime trade. Farther north, Sámi culture remains an essential part of the country’s identity.
