Aurland

Of Norway’s regions, Aurland is notable for the deep fjords and steep mountain terrain of the country’s west. The municipality lies beside Aurlandsfjord, an arm of the Sognefjord, and includes Flåm, where the Flåm Railway connects the fjord shore with Myrdal in the mountains. Nearby Nærøyfjord is part of the West Norwegian Fjords UNESCO World Heritage property, shared with Geirangerfjord. Aurland also reaches into the Aurlandsdalen valley, a historic route between fjord settlements and the high plateau. Small farms still occupy shelves above the water and along the valley sides.
