Flåm Harbour

Highlight • Rest Area

Flåm Harbor is the tourist center of the region. The harbor is almost always full of people and several sightseeing tours on the Aurlandsfjord start from the harbor.

There are boat services to a number of destinations, including a daily direct service to Bergen. The port of Flåm is also a port of call for cruise ships. Due to the depth of the fjord and the port, even the largest cruise ships call at the port.

Flåm train station is also in the port area. The Flåmsbanen runs from here to Myrdal, where there is a connection to the Bergensbanen. The Flåm Railway runs through fantastic nature.

Flåm Railway Museum

Highlight • Monument

The Flåm Railway Museum gives you an insight into the building of one of Europe's steepest railway lines, the technical challenge and the people behind these impressive engineering works.

On show in the museum are an authentic El 9 locomotive, an old electric shunting engine, a number of rail inspection trolleys and different exhibitions with text, image, sound and objects. You can also experience a trip on the Flåm Railway video.

Flåm Railway Station and Museum

Highlight • Monument

The railway was originally built for freight traffic starting in 1923. It was intended to transport freight from the Bergen Railway in Myrdal to Flam on the Sognefjord, which was accessible by ship year-round. The railway was completed in 1936, and freight traffic began with steam locomotives.

Passenger service began in 1941. The line was not fully electrified until 1944.

In recent times, however, the line has become increasingly important for tourist traffic. A special highlight is the gradient of 5.5 per thousand for a standard gauge line and the stop at the Kjosfossen waterfall, between two tunnels.

The front part of this locomotive belongs to the "Flam Railway Museum" and invites you to visit.

Short hike from Flåm to the waterfall. Short but steep climb to Brekkefossen, which rewards the hiker with a beautiful view👌

Brekkefossen

Highlight • Waterfall

Hike for about 30 minutes over hill and dale (via a path marked with the red letter "T") to the waterfall. Even more amazing after the strenuous climb is the view over Flåm, the mountains and the fjord - beautiful. Everything is free. The path is signposted from the road.

Brekkefossen Waterfall

Highlight • Waterfall

In addition to the beautiful view of the beautiful Brekkevossen waterfall, you also have a beautiful view of the fjords (it is a tough climb but definitely worth it).
If you have arrived in Flåm with a cruise ship, you can see it in the distance.
