Aurlandsdalen Valley, the “Grand Canyon of the North” is widely known for being one of the most iconic hikes in Norway. Hike through wild and beautiful landscape, close to dramatic waterfalls, cliffs and the river. The experience is second to none, the views are amazing and the memories are ever lasting.
Historically, The Aurlandsdalen Valley has been the main road between eastern and western Norway - an important route for trade and travel. Today, the valley is a loved outdoor treasure, and a pure cultural testament to the old Norwegian ways of living with, and of the land.
Most of Norways 18 National Tourist Routes are breathtaking, no matter what direction you drive in, however, Aurlandsfjellet Tourist Route might be the exception. We highly recommend driving it from Lærdal towards Aurland. The road starts by climbing from the fjord, up the mountain side to where the snow refuses to leave for most parts of the year
This landscape is untouched, moonlike and magnificent - constantly in motion with the weather. From the summit, the road dives down towards the fjord, in narrow hairpin turns only interrupted by Stegastein Look-out point. A stop well worth taking
Drive up past the Stegastein lookout point, about 5-10 minutes further up you will find parking on the left side of the road. The car park is clearly marked, and you know when you are there. The path starts from the car park and is clearly marked. It gradually rises steeply upwards, and you follow the path upwards until you reach the plateau and see the cairn at the top. The whole way there is a great view of the fjord.
It is nice to take the Flåm Railway from Flåm to Myrdal. It is recommended to order bicycles in advance via caferallaren.no. From Myrdal follow the old construction road Rallarvegen down the beautiful Flåmsdalen. It is recommended to take a detour up to Vatnahalsen Hotell for a cup of coffee and a waffle. It is also nice to stop at Rallarrosa Stølsysteri. Here you can feed the goats and enjoy freshly fried pieces of goat cheese before rolling further down the valley. In Flåm, you hand in the bicycle at the designated place.
For a complete green stay: Come by train, spend two days with us and experience Aurland on foot, in a rowing boat or by bike and continue your journey on the express boat.
In the 19th century, members of Europe’s royal families, spearheaded by the German Kaiser Wilhelm II, sailed up the fjords inspired by the national romantic paintings they had seen exhibited in central Europe. The royalty and their entourages were transported by horse and carriage from the fjord up to the rivers and mountains. Today, enormous cruise ships call at the quay in Flåm, the fourth busiest cruise ship harbour in Norway. The biggest attraction is the Flåm Railway where Flåm is the final stop. This unique section of railway starts in Myrdal, a stop on the Bergen Railway, and winds its way down the mountainside to the Aurlandsfjord and runs parallel with the Navvies Road. We also recommend hopping off the Bergen Railway at Finse, or Myrdal, and doing the last section by bike.
National Geographic Traveler Magazine has called the Flåm Railway one of the best train trips in Europe, and, in 2014, Lonely Planet called it ‘the world’s most beautiful train journey’. A trip on the Flåm Railway is part of the popular ‘Norway in a Nutshell’ round trip that continues by boat on the Nærøyfjord. You can either take a ferry from Flåm to Gudvangen or take the express boat to Bergen, a five-hour boat trip along the world’s longest and deepest navigable fjord: the 220-km Sognefjord known as the King of the Fjords.
