A mere 20 minute walk from the port you’ll walk over the waterfall’s lower river before seeing a sign and turning right up a steep path, this then changes into steps and then steep natural paths which takes 30 minutes from the road you’ll see a clearing and a view point sign, do not continue up as the terrain gets harder and there are no viewpoints for another 30mins or so. I’d only advise this if you are okay shape and confident as it can be a bit slippery and steep especially on the way down. The viewpoint is incredible, the full length of the waterfall captures the left side of the view and the rest is filled with Flåm, the fjords and The Valley which the railway follows. I could have sat there for hours.

The best way to see the fjord landscape is from above! This excursion brings you through the favourite hiking terrain among the locals, 1000 meters above the famous Sognefjorden. The path twists along the edge of the mountain in an altitude there are no trees growing, which means that you are able to watch miles of spectacular scenery around you during most of the trip. We walk up the mountainside as far as you are comfortable with, before returning down through a short distance of coniferous forest. The hiking trip ends by the viewpoint at Stegastein. Tickets may be purchased in combination with a sightseeing bus ride, or seperately if you have your own transport.

The world's most beautiful train journey. The train journey shows some of Norway's best landscape. In the course of approximately 2 hours, you'll experience lush fjord landscapes, steep mountains, spectacular waterfalls and snow-covered mountains. A journey you'll never forget.

A great museum to get an overall feel for the overall history of the local area. It's not really big, so doesn't take a lot of time. It might be free, but we think definitely deserves a donation on the way out.
