Day trip to Flåm and Aurlandsfjord

Day trip to Flåm and Aurlandsfjord

A 45-minute drive from Myrkdalen takes you to the charming small village of Flåm on the banks of the Aurlandsfjord.

Flåm is a popular destination for a day trip when holidaying in Myrkdalen. Stroll through the homely village and enjoy the spectacular view of the Aurlandsfjord. Stop by Flåm Railway Museum – a free museum that tells the fascinating story behind the unique Flåmsbana railway, the steepest and most beautiful railway in the world.

Enjoy lunch at Ægir BryggeriPub – perhaps accompanied by a local beer. The pub is housed in an extremely cosy Viking-style building, which is an experience in itself.

You should then head for the Stegastein viewpoint, 650 metres above the Aurlandsfjord. Here you have a unique panoramic view of the green, snow-covered mountains and the beautiful fjord below. The view takes most people's breath away and is probably one of the most photographed landscapes in Norway!

You can round off the day with another visit to Ægir BryggeriPub – or perhaps a delicious dinner at Flåmstova Restaurant in the cosy Flåmsbrygga Hotel, before returning to Myrkdalen.
