    Flam, Sognefjord

    Little Flam lies at the southern end of the Aurlandsfjord, one of the branches of the beautiful Sognefjord.

    Flåm is a tiny village on the banks of the Aurlandsfjord, one of the branches of the beautiful Sognefjord – the longest and deepest fjord in Europe. The setting is utterly spectacular. A stroll along the waterside, past orchards and hamlets, cottages and farmland, helps to explain why this area is so enduringly popular with visitors. Back in the village, the pretty church with its traditionally decorated walls, is one of the oldest in Norway.
    In recent years the Flåm Railway has become a major attraction. Finished in 1944, it climbs over 20km and almost a thousand metres through magnificent scenery, in and out of mountains, past waterfalls and ravines, pausing at the beautiful Kjosfossen waterfall for a photo opportunity. Down in the village, the Flåmsbana Museum tells the story of the railway’s design and construction.

     

    • TOUR D - HOLO FARM
    • Flam, Sognefjord, Norway
    • Holo Farm is a traditional mountain sheep farm 470 metres above sea level. It is situated high up in the middle of the Flåm valley overlooking the fantastic fjord and mountain landscape of Fjord Norway.

    • TOUR E - FLÅM RAILWAY & CYCLING
    • Flam, Sognefjord, Norway
    • What a lovely way to spend our time – a journey on the renowned Flåm Railway, followed by a scenic cycle ride back down the valley.

    • TOUR B - NORWAY IN A NUTSHELL
    • Flam, Sognefjord, Norway
    • From Flåm (meaning ‘large expanse of land between high mountains’), we board the train to take us to Myrdal. The track we will follow is an engineering wonder, ascending to 867 metres (2,844 feet) within just 50 minutes. It has a gradient of 1 in 18 over a distance of 20 kilometres (12 miles). The world famous railway was built between 1920 and 1940, and was in fact opened by German troops, who had a large military camp in Flåm.

    • TOUR A - SCENIC DRIVE TO OSTERBO
    • Flam, Sognefjord, Norway
    • We will travel as far as Østerbø. Here refreshments are served in the small mountain lodge, once a farm but uninhabited since the 1920’s.

    • TOUR F - FJORD KAYAKING
    • Flam, Sognefjord, Norway
    • This is a unique opportunity for a closer encounter with the Sognefjord. Figuring on UNESCO’s World Heritage List, the Nærøyfjord is a spectacular fjord arm – part of the mighty Sognefjord – so narrow we will almost be able to touch the mountains on either side. The fjord is sheltered by these mountains and is thus perfect for kayaking.

    • TOUR G - GEILO & THE FLAM RAILWAY
    • Flam, Sognefjord, Norway
    • In the afternoon we board our train bound for Myrdal and Flåm. The first part of the journey will be on the Oslo – Bergen Express across the vast, barren Hardangervidda mountain plateau (we will have a good view of the Hardangerjøkulen glacier).

    • TOUR C - NÆRØYFJORD CRUISE
    • Flam, Sognefjord, Norway
    • Since 2005, the Nærøyfjord has been listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site and has also been rated by National Geographic as the world’s number one natural heritage site. Today we shall have a cruise from the Sognefjord and along the Nærøyfjord.
