Excellent place for rafting and other extreme water activities. We took a package of rafting (15yo+) and canyoning and it was fantastic. First half of the day we were on the river, then after a short rest we went to a river canyon for the other part of the adventure. Our guide Jens made it really fun, exciting but still safe at the same time. We had a comprehensive training, including capsizing of the raft, which was really cool. We went through some really big rapids on the river. Second part of the trip by far exceeded my expectations. It was a trip down the canyon, not by the river but IN the river. It was great. On each trip there was a supporting guide who was helping to keep things safe. We also really appreciated the blankets we were given after rafting to warm up a bit. It is a full-day activity I recommend to anyone who is keen on water adventure.
Przemek N — Google review
We are a family of 4 with two teenage boys, who had a fantastic experience both rafting and canyoning with Skjåk Adventure, and in particular our guide Ola Jon. We were staying in Jotunheimen shortly after Storm Hans and our booked adventure on the Sjoa had to be cancelled due to flooding. After enquiring via email, Skjåk Adventure responded the same day saying they had availability for rafting on their short rafting trip 2 days later. The team were very friendly on arrival, and were able to provide all the equipment needed including neoprene socks and trainers (just needed a swimming costume). The real bonus was they overheard us talking about wanting to fit in canyoning, and they offered to take us on their canyoning trip after the rafting. This was a massive bonus for us after the disruption of the storm. The rapids themselves were amazing - the river we rafted on (the Otta) had 3 sections of rapids with the first swelled up to an intense grade 4 thanks the storm. We had the best rafting experience, with our guide who was friendly and added games to the quieter sections, whilst being very professional about risk, making sure we knew how to get back into the boat (and making us jump and fall in the games a few times). The rafting was capped by a drive to a local bridge where we jumped back into the river - an intro to the canyoning to come! After a brief rest with free tea, coffee (or squash) at the cabin, we headed out to the canyoning. Ola Jon was again our guide, taking us out to the hill (a river which flowed from an old dam a few hundred meters higher up the mountain that used to be used for hydroelectricity). An “interesting” clamber down the rocks to the start point and then acclimatising in the (much colder) canyon. What followed was 90 minutes of joy with chutes, jumps and clambering down the canyon. Ola Jon had photos of us through the experience, as well as a video of us on the first rapids. These were shared without charge and without fuss, which was a hugely valuable and welcome offer from the group. Overall we would thoroughly recommend this company to anyone thinking of rafting in the area

I booked super spontaneously and they were ready to go. Everything was very well organised, we got all equipment and instructions we needed as beginners. We booked a family plus rafting tour and we had a group from the age of 10 to (a very fit) 71. The trip was a blast! Our guide was OJ, very experienced, super cool guy. Knows exactly what he is doing. We surprised ourselves with the courage we developed with him and I felt that OJ knew very well from the beginning, of how to push and support us - and it was 100% safe the entire time. We left impressed and super happy and spoke about what we experienced for the rest of the day. The landscape is also perfect and the team is very well organised. Thanks OJ, and the entire team. It was an excellent experience that we highly recommend! ❤️

Great experience! We did the combo (rafting and canyoning). Rafting had some cool rapids, nature and some fun games led by the guides. Canyoning was super fun with options to be as challenging as you want including slides and jumps of varying lengths and heights. Opportunities to test your self if you are up for it with no pressure if it’s not your thing. Our guide Ola Jon was very knowledgeable, approachable and made both activities fun and very enjoyable.

Klimapark 2469

Nature & Wildlife Tours
Klimapark 2469, also known as Climate stop, is an open-air enterprise park that focuses on the history of climate, hunting, and trapping. Visitors can learn about climate change and permafrost through guided tours in English and Norwegian. The park offers a unique experience with informative guides who provide competent answers to all questions. Additionally, visitors have the opportunity to explore an ice cave and witness impressive glaciers.
Absolutely impressive area that at first glance resembles a lunar landscape. At second glance, you can discover a lot here at an altitude of 1,860 m. We had booked the 12:00 tour to the ice tunnel. The tour is great! On the approximately 1km long path to the ice tunnel, our guide Emma made several stops and told us the history and importance of the climate park with a lot of charm and enthusiasm. What the measuring stations do, which plants live at this altitude, how the soils are brought to life and why this is possible. The tour and the ice tunnel are a very special experience. There is enough time to look around and enjoy, what might be not possible anymore in just a few years. The tour is well suited for older children. We were here with our 6 year old. With a lot of motivation from us, it worked quite well, but since she doesn't speak English and it was raining a bit, the initial enthusiasm quickly disappeared with each stop on our way to the tunnel.

Absolutely amazing place. Great guide with professional knowledge sharing. Tunnel itself is like from another planet. If you will get there you will have also drive the highest road in Norway - 1866m. We really enjoyed everything!
Aleksander S — Google review
An incredible experience. walking in the area surrounded by frozen plateaus, semi-frozen lakes and inside the ice cave. The very good guide explained to us the incredible nature, the life of the glaciers and the life of the hunters. The ice cave is incredible in its beauty, the formations, the artistic forms of ice, the artefacts preserved in ice cases, the tunnels, the theatre where we watched the documentary. Above us the fast-flowing clouds carried by a strong wind. Absolutely not to be missed. Tip: dress very, very well to protect yourself from the cold and wind. Domenico, Italy
Domenico M — Google review
Fantastic tour that everyone that is in the area should see. I would recommend visiting first visiting the norwegian mountain museum in Lom and then go up in the mountain and see the ice tunnel. I also recommend to not only see the ice tunnel but take the tour with the guides that will show you that what you see around is not only rocks and ice but so much more full of life!
Nenad L — Google review
Our guide Kathnika(apologies if I have misspelled) was enthusiastic. She gave demonstrations wherever possible, and this helped me understand the concepts e.g.: the polygonal hole softening and the Gabro Vs Feldspar stone sounds. I learned the crucial role played by the permafrost layers. I appreciate the fact that organizers have dedicated more time to the outdoor specimens than the cave. While I was impressed by the cave's creation history, it's not much there from a learning perspective. They can add some more technical information about the cave's current maintenance or if it is used for any experiments or so on. I highly recommend the tour.
Omkar J — Google review
Excellent tour guide giving us detailed information about local flora and fauna. Ice cave itself is absolutely amazing! A mixture of Nordic myth and Ice Age style artifacts frozen in the walls. Ice tunnel slide is highly recommended- if you are not afraid of really really tight spaces and sliding head first into the unknown dark :-)
Renate L — Google review
The artistic ice sculptures hidden in the cave beneath the glacier were stunning—like stepping into a frozen gallery of natural beauty and creativity. The tour guide offered fascinating insights into post-glacial nature, weaving in subtle hints about the effects of global warming. A perfect blend of art, science, and environmental awareness. Highly recommended!

Represents Norwegian history, myths, and national identity from the Viking Age to the modern era. Inspired by the Icelandic sagas and Snorri Sturluson’s Heimskringla. Symbolizes continuity of culture, independence, and unity — linking Norway’s medieval kingship to its 19th–20th century nation-building.

This is a quick and free stop on route 52(?) with a rather unique and interesting artifact! May I suggest that you look this up and read about it while you visit this spot. It is definitely worth 10-15 minutes to look at this epic art piece that has so much controversial history, and is now in the middle of nowhere (sorry people who live there, I don't mean this as disrespectful!). It is beautiful and powerful and... off a small road!

Mountain peak
Nature & Parks
Mountains
Galdhøpiggen, standing at 2469 meters above sea level, is Norway's highest mountain and one of the most popular hikes in the country. The challenging ascent is rewarded with breathtaking views, but it's advised not to hike alone due to the unpredictable mountain weather. Visitors can enjoy refreshments at a coffee place on the summit. Many hikers describe their experiences of reaching the top as awe-inspiring, with perfect weather conditions and stunning visibility.
Excellent hike to highest Norwegian and Scandinavia peak. It is demanding hike up but so worth it. As with all mountain not recommended to go alone. When I reached top did not see much as there was huge fog even though when stared was nice and sunny but weather changed were fast. Will need to return some day for the view. On top of mountain there is coffee place where you can get some refreshments food and drinks.

Easy walk up here from Juvasshytta. Harder and longer from Spiterstulen, about 8 hours round trip. Bring something to slide on the snow on back down. Makes the trip so much more enjoyable. I brought plastic rompeakebrett. Plastic bags will also work.
Håvard ( — Google review
TLDR; My review applies to the trek from Spiterstulen to the summit. The distance from Spiterstulen parking to the summit is a little more than 6 km. There are three summits on the route from Spiterstulen: Svellnos(you can bypass some gradients here but still have to climb 90%) , Keilhaus, and the summit itself. I laboured my way up till Keilhaus, and still the summit was looking far away. I had almost decided to turn back but it was a now-or-never situation. The view from the summit is mesmerizing. I reached there pretty late due to my struggles, hence, couldn't invest much time but I recommend to be there for at least 45 minutes to soak in the experience. I don't prefer to do snow gliding but my knees and legs had given up while descending. I glided through each and every snow patch. My pants and inners got drenched but it was fun !!! I have deducted one star solely due to absence of any wind shelters or huts during the entire trek. Strong winds and rain hit when I descended the last plateau but it was still challenging. A family with 2 kids panicked and were about to call for emergency help. Overall, this was the hardest trek for me till date, but a memorable one. Tips: - Do not attempt unless you are physically fit, and have a good stamina for gradients and slopes. - The trek is an ankle and knee wrecker. Shoes with ankle support, and knee caps recommend. - Start as early as possible, especially if you are unsure about your physical capacity. - Weather can change at a snap - it was sunny most of the day, winds got stronger in the afternoon, and I got battered by rain and winds during the last hour of the descent. Ensure you have clothes that can handle these changes. - Check the information board located at the beginning of the trail. It marks the last point where the drinking water is available. Beyond it, till one reaches the summit, there are no streams(well, one can hear those but cannot use them). - Carry a snow slider that one can place under the bum. It would not only save a lot of time and energy while descending but would also be a fun experience. - Carry snow gloves for a safer snow gliding.

Galdhøpiggen has incredible views and the hike itself is such an adventure. We didn’t make it all the way up because it started snowing too much, but it was still totally worth it. Just make sure to bring warm clothes — the weather can change fast!

It was my first mountain and reached 945m. It took time because it was really rocky and didnt know how to climb and half time was looking where is trail. Also its really demanding. If you dont see T then take few steps and then you see. Didnt get higher because went late to climb and weather stoped. The most fun part is to go down on snow :).

Vettisfossen

Nature & Parks
Waterfalls
Vettisfossen is a breathtaking mountain waterfall in Norway, cascading 275 meters down a cliff. Accessible via a hiking trail, the journey offers stunning views of four large waterfalls. The hike includes an easy walk to Vetti gard where visitors can enjoy waffles and drinks before continuing towards the base or top of the waterfall. While the bottom route may be more challenging due to slippery rocks, it provides an impressive view of the waterfall's plunge.
Gorgeous walk with 4 big waterfalls. Parking at the first and an easy walk to the Vetti gard. There you can have some waffles (not baked on the spot!) and a drink. Picnic is outside. From there you can choose to walk to the bottom of therapy or top. We choose bottom, which was a bit more difficult because of the wet stones (slippery). You cannot go to the place where the waterfall plunges on the rocks but it is still pretty impressive. Total walk for us untrained: 6 hours including photos and picnic.
John W — Google review
My favorite trail in Jotunheimen National Park. Not so challenging, but with a lot of trees and green all around. The views are beautiful and you will cross a river on bridges few times. Prepare that the last part of the trail leading to the biggest waterfall is quite off-road even for hikers. You walk a lot on the rocks so you need to mind your steps.
Jana K — Google review
Great hike to Norway’s highest free-falling waterfall at 275 m. The trail starts at the Hjelle parking lot, which is free, well-sized, and even has a WC. We saw someone drive up to Vetti Tourist Station, but it’s unclear if this is allowed for non-residents, and the road is so narrow that it’s not recommended anyway. The hike itself is easy to medium: from Hjelle to Vetti (Tourist Station) the gravel path is pleasant, well maintained with several ups and downs, and walkable even in rain. Shortly before reaching Vetti it gets steeper on a paved road, but still manageable. From Vetti you can choose between the top (longer hike) or the bottom (about 30 min, passing a great suspension bridge) of the falls. In total the hike to the bottom takes about 4–5 h (out and back, ca. 15 km, ca. 500 m up/down), depending on pace, rest and photo stops. The last stretch requires more sure footing, and to get close to the bottom you may have to cross slippery rocks or shallow water. Waterproof shoes with good grip are essential. It is worth mentioning, that the route passes four beautiful waterfalls: Hjellefossen, Avdalsfossen, the almost tropical-looking Høljafossen, and finally Vettisfossen.
Maximilian P — Google review
One of the most stunning hikes and waterfalls in Norway. This one is a gem. Easy 2h hike with stunning views. Be sure to take the left trail to the bottom of the Waterfall. It might get a little slippery on the way down. You can fill up your water bottle along the little creeks along the way. Take the first parking place or you will miss the first waterfall.

Gyorgy B — Google review
It has a free parking that has toilet and bathroom. You need lots of time to visit it. There is about 1:30 hour long walk to a hotel. It was a very easy path. Then you should choose a path to the top of it either to the bottom. The bottom one is 1 km and the top one is 1.5 km. We wanted to take the top one but we gave up because it was a little hard for us and it needed lots of time. So we got back.But if you have time and are in good health conditions, it won't be hard for you because the path is marked.

Sognefjellsvegen, also known as Sognefjellet mountain pass, is a stunning scenic route in Norway. This road takes you from Luster to Lom, offering breathtaking views of fjords, small towns, mountain passes, glaciers, and waterfalls. The highest mountain pass in Norway runs through Jotunheimen with vistas of summits and glaciers. The road is closed in winter but opens around May for summer travel.
Stunning road. Drove it and then the next day cycled it on my road bike. Smooth tarmac, quiet traffic and incredible views. Perfect cycling and driving pass that’s up there with the best.

06.2024/ It was such a beautiful car ride through spectacular and wild landscapes on the roof of Norway. One of the most memorable norwegian scenic routes! The road crosses in Jotunheimen National Park. You have to stop in several scenic view points as you arrive from Lom: Vegaskjelet view point, stop also at Bovertonvatnet lake, after at Nufshaug Scenic ViewPoint and Sognefjellet Viewing Point 1434 m. The last are Nedre Oscarshaug and Fortun Scenic Viewpoint. The road connects Lom and Gaupne and is 108 km in total. It reaches 1434 m altitude and crosses the highest pass in northern Europe. The traffic is not permitted between 8 p.m and 8 a.m. I recommend a sandwich stop at the End of Sognefjorden, at the end of the lake. I wish all of you good weather in order to catch with your eyes the entire beauty of the landscape!

Be very careful here -- this highway closes every night and they have gates on either side that lock you in between 8pm and 8am. Unfortunately they do not have any signs in English that warn people of this closure, so I'm guessing lots of non Norwegian tourists end up sleeping in their car up on the high mountain pass.

To Pat M..Road only close during wintertime.Beautiful road to drive and scenery is stunning.Road 55 itself gets 9 stars.The one star is for google maps only because they dont allow you to set the route over sognefjell.Thats really bad.Same if you set the route for road 63 from Sogge bridge over trollstigen-Geiranger over to rv 15. Google maps need to fix this and put out the closing time of many Norwegian roads.

Excellent location. I booked two cabins for our family. Both had excellent views and privacy. Cabins have a large living area, dining table (for 6) and a fairly well equipped kitchen. Bathroom in one of the cabins was fully remodeled. Both cabins also had an outdoor seating area. We were bummed that we stayed here for just one night - we would've loved to stay longer. Note that there is no restaurant on the property, and they don't serve breakfast (even for a fee). There are no restaurants or grocery stores close by, so make sure you're fully stocked before arriving. Hotel manager sells few basic essentials such as bread, butter, jam, eggs etc. We didn't buy groceries ahead of time, so we were glad to be able to buy these at the hotel. Hotel staff provided excellent service, the manager/owner even lent us a pepper grinder from his home the next day at breakfast.

We went to visit the farm, and we really enjoyed It. The personal were very kind and nice. They explained about those animals, and let us stay with them for a while. We could feed them and stroke them. My kids loved It. I recommend It.

Our ship was delayed in Skjolden for an extra day due to mechanical issues. We did the Llama walk & it was an absolute highlight! A very unique experience, one that we wouldn't experience at home. Highly recommend.

Our family had the most amazing experience visiting the Llamas. It was one of the big highlights of our cruise. The staff were so nice and friendly and the llamas were such characters. You could really see their different personalities shining through and they answered to their names too which is a clear indication of how well they are looked after. It was hilarious to see the sheep and goats running down the mountain when the staff shook the bucket of food. They were so gentle to the kids feeding them. Thanks so much for such a great tour

Amazing location with great views. Terrace overlooking the fjord is great to relax and empty the mind. Rooms are airy and clean. Well equiped. Hint: check the sailing schedule of the cruise ships and avoid the days with the big cruises (2000+ pax) cause those days the little village (population 250) is literally swamped with cruise participants.

Skjolden is a magical place, taken right out of a fairyland book or something. Subliminally perfect
Faizi — Google review
Almost missed out on this place because Google maps didn't show pricing or availability but went directly to their website and they had rooms free at great prices. The furnishings and decorations are a little sparse / plain, but the place was very clean and the view outside more than made up for the plain inside. Would love to go back!!

This place is a little gem!!! Very small but very good Norwegian waffles! These are tastier than we have ever had in Scandinavia. The flavor of them was great and they were a little crunchier and thinner than others. With butter or brown cheese (brunost) folded in half, I wanted another, yum! The coffee was also great and they serve locally produced cider from apples. Their deck was inviting with a view of the fjord. Do not miss going to this restaurant when in Skjolden!!

Adventure Tours Norway offers an incredible way to explore the stunning landscapes of Norway, whether you choose to drive along "The Romantic Road" or rent bikes from Eplet in Solvorn or Skjolden. The cafe serves as a perfect starting point for hiking adventures, including the scenic trek up to Feigefossen waterfall. For those seeking thrills on water, their rib boat tours provide exhilarating experiences with breathtaking views and lively guides who enhance the journey with music and enthusiasm.
Absolutely fantastic rib tour on the Fjord that was definitely a highlight of the holiday. We tried to book months in advance but everything was full both through our cruise company and direct. Then the night before, our ship came close enough to land for my internet to work and I discovered a load of spaces had come available. I snapped up 2 slots and was so pleased I'd checked. Our driver/guide was brilliant and we loved everything about the experience.

We rented bikes here early in the season. Karlis had our bikes ready and opened up the shop just for us. We had an incredible ride along the romantic road and up through the valley. We got an e-bike and two regular bikes so everyone was able to bike together. Bikes also came with good lights for the tunnels. Karlis was very accommodating and gave us good directions for where to go, would highly recommend.

What a great trip, the guys that run this were amazing, very professional and also made you feel relaxed, all the gear is provided to keep you warm and safe. Can't tell you it's a must to book this trip, we had an amazing time. Book directly with them or walk up like we did and book, we waited 20 mins. Save alot of money doing it directly than going through the cruise liner.
Pete S — Google review
We rented bikes for a reasonable price (400 nok for a whole day). A short trip tot Drivandefossen (8km one way), afterwards a sportive ride to Urnes (29km one way) for the Urnes Stankyrkja. You pass through serveral unlit tunnels. The locals consider this the "romantic route". Truely beautiful! Other options such as fishing or a boat trip on the fjord are also recommended!

We visited Borgund’s New Church in Norway, located right beside the historic wooden church. Built in recent eras, it provides an interesting contrast to the old stave church. The entrance ticket includes access to both churches, along with a guided tour, and there’s also a nearby farmhouse to explore. Recommend a visit to experience both historical and more recent architecture in this beautiful setting.

It's a bit off the beaten path but it's worth a visit. Service is nice but the guide that was present ignored us and wasn't very helpful. Would recommend a visit anyways - 100 NOK entrance fee is not bad
Bruno S — Google review
One of the oldest stave churches in the world. It was built in 1180 and too old but preserved very well. It has an entrance fee to go inside (not to see it from the outside). It was worth it! The construction made us awe struck. Sadly, there were no surviving paintings. The bell tower is under some renovation so we were not able to go up to see it. The staffs were friendly both at the exhibit and near the church as well. They helped us with the history. But it is recommended to first see the exhibit and understand the history before going in the church.
Sai N — Google review
A place that worth visit if you're around. There are two main church's well conserved. They're kinda different of what you usually see. There's no much other things around the area, except for a museum and a small River

Beautiful and underrated church - highly recommended! This is a very beautiful church. In my opinion, even more impressive than Unesco Urnes Stave Church. It’s easy to reach, with a large parking area and surrounded by lovely nature and peaceful surroundings. Just one thing to keep in mind: the church closes already at 5 PM, which might feel a bit early during the summer season. So make sure to plan your visit accordingly.

Such a great experience Jack was a true gentleman and an apostle legend taking us out of normal hours to a fab spot for cliff jumps and a spot of light reading. Well worth everything to go here to experience just a few hours with Jack and the stunning scenery. Best view of waterfalls, fjords and glaciers.

Our group of five took the kayak tour with Tom. He was an excellent tour guide and gave us so much information about the area and also the culture. There were beautiful views. On the day we kayaked, we had the entire fjord to ourselves, not even another boat nearby. It was too cold to swim but we had a lovely lunch at the halfway point. I highly recommend this tour if you are in the area.

Molden

Mentioned on 
4 lists 
Mountain peak
Outdoor Activities
Molden is a popular hiking destination in Sogndal, offering stunning views of the fjord and surrounding mountains. The trail starts at the Krossen parking lot and spans about 4km one way with an elevation gain of approximately 600 meters. Hikers can expect a relatively smooth terrain with wooden bridges, stone stairs, and mountain paths. While not overly challenging, it's advisable to dress warmly as temperatures drop at the summit.
Most beautiful hike I did in Sogndal area. It has stunning views from the fjord with mountains all around us. I loved the hike as well. It is a combination of wooden bridge, stone stairs and mountains. It's not a hard hike. Relatively smooth. It became very cold on top so bring warmer clothes as well. You have to take bus 860 from Sogndal and take off Falkgjerdet station and it is 40 minutes walk to the parking lot which is start point of the trail. It's doable without car but it's a lot longer since you have to walk to start point as well. Both UT and Alltrail apps have the hike route.
Zahra B — Google review
The hike is moderate when the weather is nice, probably hard when it's raining. Very nice views at the top. No toilets available on the parking lot during the hike
FV — Google review
Maybe most beautiful hike ever taken. It’s about 4km one way with fairly steep hike but good terrain with 600m of elevation from the parking lot. There is a proper toilet but no drinking water at the parking. Quite busy on a beautiful day but not so much that is crowed. If you even half considering this hike don’t hesitate, go!

Nice hot smoked salmon sandwich for 10euros. Very reasonably priced compared to what you get in norway usually as it taste nice and portion is fair. Taco buffet for kids a good idea at the cost of 10kr per year if age (10y old kud cost 100kr). Recommend to go if your tired of usual salami sandwich.

Definitely worth a visit. Much less touristic and the hike is simply beautiful. You can see the glaciers the whole way. Do both hikes if you have time. The parking and road are free. This place is still a hidden gem. Dont do the hikes in heavy rain as the trail does get very slippery. Best light is around noon.

(Translated by Google) Like the Tuftebreen, the Bergsetbreen is a short walk with a wonderful reward. The path is also ideal for walking with (young) children. Make sure you wear good footwear, because it can be slippery, especially on a rainy day. Tip: take binoculars with you. (Original) Net als de Tuftebreen is de Bergsetbreen een korte wandeling met een prachtige beloning. Het pad is ook prima te bewandelen met (jonge) kinderen. Let er wel op dat je goed schoeisel aantrekt, want – zeker op een regenachtige dag – kan het glad zijn. Tip: neem een verrekijker mee.

My husband and daughter did the body rafting with FjordActive. I did not participate (well, water in Norway is fresh and I have my temperature standard 😉), but from their comments, I can tell you it was a great experience. Their Norwegian guide was very friendly, knowledgeable and very attentive to everyone - despite the physical level or age. His explanation was very clear (equipment, schedule, activities, safety, pictures etc). He also did his best to reassure my daughter when she got into a little panic before the very last jump - nothing difficult, but this was the only place you couldn't skip and had to jump into the water. Highly recommended! Don't hesitate a minute!

Our trip was truly amazing! Their goal is to take people to the most remote parts of the glacier to experience stunning natural beauty and it turned out to be exactly that, and even better. The groups are small, the guides are fantastic. They are experienced, educated, fluent in English and will make sure you are feeling safe and will provide you with crampons, ice axes, and harnesses.The glacier changes rapidly, so every hike is unique, and you’ll be amazed by the breathtaking scenery. Special thanks to our guide Ole!

I can wholeheartedly recommend this tour. It was our first time on a glacier, and we had an amazing, impressive experience. Many thanks to our guide Michael – he was very attentive, cared about our safety, and made sure to find truly beautiful spots for us. We really enjoyed everything. The tour takes about 7 hours. The route is NOT difficult. Even someone who is not very athletic or well-trained can manage it. There is enough time to rest along the way. Everything is perfectly organized by the team.
Volodymyr F — Google review
We absolutely loved it. The guide was really nice and knowledgeable, we felt safe the whole time and we also loved that he would stop every once in a while to tell us a story (I think the real reason was for the people to rest). The explanations, the safety instructions, the boat ride made this experience 100% recommended. He would always ask for a feedback from us, making sure we are all safe and comfortable and enjoying it. At the way back we stopped near the tipi to drink coffee or tea
Tony H — Google review
Amazing private glacier tour with Ole and Fjord Active! We were the only ones signed up for the glacier tour, which meant we could explore so much more than in a larger group, where things move slower. Ole guided us expertly and showed us all the hidden spots on the glacier. Walking on the glacier was definitely one of the highlights of our entire trip to Norway, truly the cherry on top! What’s even more impressive is that Fjord Active is the only agency allowed to lead tours to this part of the glacier because they own the land and have the exclusive permit. This means you’re truly alone on the glacier, making the experience even more special. Huge thanks to Ole and the whole Fjord Active team — we wish you continued success in this amazing work!

Incredible experience! Would recommend everyone who wants to do a glacier hike in Norway! Our guide Marcus was very experienced and explained the whole tour, the equipment and the facts about the glacier very professional. He was very caring that everyone felt safe. We started with a 20min boat ride. After we had a 1.5h walk to the point where we got our glacier equipment (clamps, ice axe, harness). Fro there it was about 15min to the edge of the glacier where we began walking on the ice for around 2 hours. On the way back we also got some coffee and hot chocolate before we head back with the rib boat. The trip will stay in our memories forever - just breathtaking to make this experience! Thanks a lot Marcus!

A beautiful little stave church. Unfortunately we arrived too early to go inside (opens at 10:00) but it is located in a beautiful place. (Everywhere in Norway is beautiful though) There is a little gravel parking lot to the right of the building and graveyard. The oldest gravestone was from the middle of the 17th century.

Very interesting museum. Three flours indoors about daily life in Norway in the last few centuries. And outside you can see the inside of the old houses. There are several places that don't have an English translation for the Norwegian texts next to the exhibitions. There are also several short walks with explanations about nature, but yet again without English translation. I do recommend taking a visit here. It takes about 2 to 3 hours to complete.

Stegastein Lookout in Norway is a unique observation platform that extends out from the mountain, offering breathtaking views of the fjord and surrounding landscapes. Visitors are instantly enveloped in tranquility as they take in the majestic beauty of the mountains and ocean below. The experience is described as peaceful and calming, providing a sense of awe-inspiring wonder. However, it's advised to visit on clear days to fully appreciate the glorious views, as rainy or cloudy weather can obscure the scenery.
Fun drive up and beautiful views. Can get busy when a tour van shows up, but we got lucky at first with no one there. Even on a partly cloudy day there were stunning views.

Tge view is amazing, but there are some things i like to mention: - The road from Aurlandsvangen is very narrow, just for one car but the way up the are several places where you can pass the cars going down. If going on high season be prepared to meet many cars and taking extra time to go up and down the road. -Next to the view point there is a parking place but only for dozen cars, sometimes we had to park the car next to the road further up the parking place since the way down is narrow. There is a toilet next to the parking.

Wooden bridge that offers a wonderful view on the Sognefjord. The road to get there is basically a nightmare because it's super narrow and congested, also with buses and RVs: therefore be prepared to get stuck in the jam for several minutes and don't go there if you're a novice driver.

Definitely worth a visit. To access here, there are several ways including 1) hike; 2) drive; 3) bus tour; 4) taxi. We have our camper van but we didn’t end up driving our camper van up there after reading all the reviews online. There are a lot hairpin turns on the way up and we felt our van was a bit on the large end therefore we don’t want to risk it. We joined a bus tour from Norway’s Best company. It was good experience. The guide stopped 3 times to allow us to see things on the way. Because we joined a morning tour, there aren’t a lot people on the lookout. So it is relatively easy to get photos without people on your background! FYI - we didn’t go there in summer peak season. We went in Sept after school started. So maybe it’s another story in peak season

This is one of the best spots to get beautiful views of the fjords. It is completely free and easily accessible with ample parking available. There are clean, free toilets on site. The road up to the lookout is quite interesting, but if you have a big vehicle, consider switching to a smaller one. There are meeting points along the way, but please be careful while driving. Some people also hike or bike to the lookout. It's definitely worth a visit, and if you're lucky, you might catch a glimpse of the Aida cruise ship. Enjoy your stay in beautiful Norway. Anytime of the year is best time to visit.

Fantastic spot, the views are just breathtaking. We went up in the evening and early morning (6am) to avoid tour coaches. If you are: not a confident driver, in a large vehicle, or can’t reverse I would either give it a miss, or stick to quiet times. Vehicles coming in the opposite direction are often travelling too fast and for long section there is only space for one car. The view point half way up/down is also superb.

The Drive is a fun one - very curvaceous- Be Ready ! Lolol - G8 lookout and place to take photos - Selfies will pop, but befriend someone and have them take your photo so U can get the whole view. Not a must do , but if you can , Go !

I travelled here for the 2nd time. This provides the best panoramic view of the fjord and town. You can follow road up from here to get serene experience of the glacier top and snow with greenery. Just like E63.

We joined a 5-day adventure, e-biking from Haugastol to Flam, then sea-kayaking on to Gudvangen, with a few hikes in between. The whole experience was amazing, with breathtaking unspoilt views from the upland cycle tour (made as easy as you like by the electric assistance), down the Flam valley and then on the Fjords and surrounding hills. Support in advance of our arrival was excellent, with Daria answering all our queries by email in good time, including advice on travel and accomodation within Norway to get to the starting point and then back to our flight at the end. During the trip we met several members of the team helping with logistics etc, and our main guide for the 5 days was Daniel, with help from Noami for the biking days. Everything ran very smoothly, including some on-the-fly adjustments to the itinery to account for a thunderstorm forecast at the start of our kayaking trip. Daniel was a perfect guide - very skilled at kayaking, plus setting up camp and cooking for the kayaking part. He gave us confidence in his leadership, and good advice to make our time on the water feel safe and enjoyable. He told us a great deal about the local history and it's influence on Europe, all in a relaxed and engaging way, and has a very good knowledge of flora and fauna.

Scenic Railroads
Flåmsbana, also known as the Flam Railway, is a historic railway line in Norway that offers a picturesque journey through scenic valleys and waterfalls. The train ascends almost 1,000 meters to provide stunning views of the surrounding mountains and cascading waterfalls. One of its special stops includes the impressive Kjosfossen waterfall. The railway is considered one of the most beautiful train journeys globally and is a popular tourist attraction in Norway.
One of the great railway journeys of the world. Not the longest, but one of the most scenic ever .. I found it virtually impossible to stay in my seat as the views appeared from one side to the other. The stop at the waterfall was unexpected and very dramatic. The "witch" that dances to the moody music and seems to jump around the landscape is quite magical
Richard H — Google review
It was a nice train ride. It’s a good way to get up into the mountains to appreciate the scenery. If you do t go you regret it. It’s too expensive to book through the cruise for what you get. We booked directly through the train and that was a little more reasonable. It was a relaxing ride and if was a pretty round trip tour. Picturesque. The water was low while we were there so no big rushing waterfalls but pretty.
N Y — Google review
The Flåm Train is definitely worth the price, even though everything in the area feels a bit overpriced. The beginning of the ride felt a little slow and didn’t quite live up to the hype at first, but it just kept getting better. The scenery becomes truly spectacular — especially when the train stops and you can step out near the waterfall. When we first stopped, the water was pouring down so heavily and loudly that we completely missed the little performance happening nearby! Luckily, on the return trip, the train stopped again, and we got to enjoy the icy mist and actually see the show. It was an unforgettable experience and well worth the journey — I’d love to go back someday.

I took a Flåmsbana rail journey from Flam to Myrdal and it was one of the most scenic train I have taken. The views were amazing plus the stop at waterfall was very good. The train and the staff inside was excellent. I would love to take this journey again when in Flam again. I even enjoyed the scenic views at the Myrdal train station.

The trip fro Myrdal to flam and return 2 days laters, is definitely in the top three of all our train trip, is was so much fun sitting in the old style cabins, (there was plenty of room, we could constantly swap seats to take in all the views), we had a wonderful stop at the waterfall, we will treated to snow on the return trip. All in all a wonderful experience.

Amazing views and service. It’s all tourist so expect to be packed but it’s incredible and worth the ride. We left from Mydral and went down and up after staying in Flåm and the railroad was an amazing experience. We did struggle with finding baggage space for our larger luggage but lots of overhead racks for small stuff.
Corey — Google review
A very nice place to visit however too commercialised with not many nice local foods to try. Self service coffee shop was a massive letdown. Small market was nice as were the souvenir shops. Their is a fantastic walk if a little challenging, to near the top of a waterfall about 650 meters up.
Rich A — Google review
I think it is overhyped. There’s a lot of time spent in tunnels. But when you see the valley, the views are very nice. I don’t think it’s worth a special trip to do this. And I think there’s a lot of better trains. For example, the train from Voss to Bergen was hands-down far better, and the best train ride I’ve taken in Europe to-date.

Thermal suits, gloves, and other gear are provided for the boat trips to ensure comfort in the cold weather.
From stopping in Flam surrounded by the awesome scenery and imposing mountains we went on the Flam Safari. The staff were incredibly friendly and you could tell they take pride I what they do. After getting suited up the guide took us on a 1 1/2-2hr ride....the conditions were just perfect. The scenery and places we would never of seen and close ups with some of the waterfalls was brilliant. I must shout out our guide (who I took a photo with) named Geoffrey (hope that's spelt right!!!). He stopped at certain points and gave info about the area, history, facts and jokes....his enthusiasm and friendliness really made the trip complete and I hope he gets the recognition he deserves. All in all, I would go again and would definitely recommend if anyone goes here!

Amazing! The RIB boat tour is a fantastic way to see the fjords. Our tour guide provided lots of fun facts and information that helped me enjoy the fjords more. We even saw seals!! They provided us with the protective gear needed to stay warm and in case it rained. So, regardless of weather you just need to show up and have a good time!

An Unforgettable RIB Boat Tour - Inga Made It Truly Special! Our RIB boat tour was an absolute highlight of our trip, and we owe so much of that to Inga, our incredible guide. From the moment the tour began, her passion, warmth, and deep knowledge shone through. She shared fascinating insights about the region's history, the fjord, and so much more - all in a way that was engaging and easy to follow. Inga's energy and enthusiasm were contagious, and her love for the area made the experience feel truly authentic. We felt incredibly fortunate to have her leading our tour. Her presence elevated the whole journey and made it not just a scenic adventure, but a meaningful and memorable experience. We are truly grateful for the time she spent with us - thank you, Inga, for making this an unforgettable part of our trip!🩷🤗🥰

This was an exceptional tour experience. Of course the views of the Aurlandsfjord and the Nærøyfjord were breathtaking and even more incredible from the rib boat. What really made our trip was our guide Matilde. She was so knowledgeable and made sure we got all our questions answered. She took us up close to many notable places: waterfalls, towns, troll “remains” 😄, and even a waterside herd of goats. She and our gear and safety instructor Bjorn made a memorable experience even more so. It was clear that they take our enjoyment and our safety very seriously. Book this tour! You’ll be glad you did.

5 stars... The absolute highlight of our two weeks tour to Norway. We did the 1.5 hour tour, with Bartek as a guide. Super fun, very informative and he was extremely professional in hes appearance. We had two kids with us. One and two years. The one year old fell asleep. (Not because of the guide, but her nap time) And the two years old, wanted to sail more..! Would recommend to everyone passing by flam.

Rail museum
The Flam Railway, also known as Flamsbana, is a renowned train journey in South Norway that covers around 20 kilometers and offers breathtaking views of mountains, waterfalls, and valleys. Considered one of the most beautiful train journeys globally, it's a must-see when visiting this part of Norway. In addition to popular attractions like the Borgund Stave Church and Undredal Stave Church, the Flam Railway Museum is an intriguing stop.
We went on the train up to Myrdal and back and then a boat cruise. It was a very interesting visit after being on the train and seeing the tunnels. It's amazing how they made them. Good displays and information in the museum and it is free to visit. Would recommend taking a look if you visit Flam or have been on the rail way .

Here’s a vivid, enthusiastic 5-star style review (roughly 500 words) of the Flåm Railway Museum, capturing its charm, storytelling power, and why it’s a standout destination: ⸻ Stepping into the Flåm Railway Museum feels like uncovering a hidden gem nestled right beside the picturesque Flåm Station; perfectly positioned for anyone arriving via the famed Flåmsbana journey. Housed in the original train station and completely free to enter, this museum elegantly bridges local history and impressive engineering—offering a heartfelt tribute to the human spirit behind this steep railway feat  . Inside, the exhibits are beautifully curated: polished original artifacts like draisines and rail-inspection trolleys sit alongside the awe-inspiring El 9 locomotive, a stalwart locomotive that powered the line from the 1940s until the early 1980s    . The displays, enriched with photographs, videos, text panels, and audio guides in nine languages via the Voice of Norway app, make the narrative accessible, immersive, and deeply engaging   . As you traverse the compact yet rich exhibition, you’re truly taken back to the 1920s and 1930s—when planning began and construction began in 1924. This was no small undertaking: the 20-kilometer line to Myrdal, crisscrossing 20 tunnels (18 carved by hand!), climbing almost 900 meters over rugged terrain, stands as a tribute to exceptional human perseverance and creativity    . The storytelling is personal and grounded. You learn not just about technical challenges but about the engineers and workers whose day-to-day grit shaped this marvel. A visitor on TripAdvisor praised it as “well-organised” and lauded the El 9 locomotive and audiovisual tour as standout features—high praise for what’s a modest-sized museum . The space also delights in small, thoughtful touches: a model-builder’s dream awaits at the station-area diorama, and the souvenir shop offers unique Flåm-Railway-themed keepsakes—from LEGO-style sets to handicrafts—for families and fans alike  . What truly elevates the experience is its seamless blend with the surrounding environment. After the awe-inducing Flåmsbana ride—traversing tunnels, waterfalls, steep gradients, stopping at Kjosfossen waterfall for photos—the museum offers a perfect, grounding complement. It connects the spectacular visual journey with the human narrative behind constructing such an extraordinary route   . In short, the Flåm Railway Museum stands as a shining example of how small, thoughtfully designed museums can make a big impact. It’s accessible, educational, and deeply moving. Whether you’re a history buff, engineering enthusiast, railway aficionado, or simply someone who values heartfelt storytelling—don’t skip this stop. Your visit will leave you with a new appreciation for Norway’s engineering heritage and the indomitable will of those who built one of the world’s steepest railways by hand. Five stars—bravo! ⸻ Hope this review captures the spirit and charm of the Flåm Railway Museum for your purposes! Let me know if you’d like a different tone or style.

Great history of the railroad here at Flam. Very good exhibits with signage in Norwegian and most signs also in English. Easy to download an app for self-guided tour in several languages. We could not find all the audio guide markers and managed to have a great tour. Entry thru gift shop in central Flam. Great free museum.
Toni T — Google review
The Flåm Railway is truly one of the most breathtaking train journeys in the world. Stretching just 20 kilometers between Flåm and Myrdal, the ride is short but packed with stunning scenery that feels almost unreal. From the moment the train departs, you’re surrounded by towering mountains, cascading waterfalls, deep valleys, and charming little villages. The highlight for many is the stop at Kjosfossen Waterfall, where you can step outside to feel the mist and watch a short cultural performance. The train itself is comfortable, with large windows that make it easy to enjoy the views from either side. Commentary along the way provides helpful background about the history and engineering marvel of the railway, which is one of the steepest standard-gauge lines in the world. Yes, it can get busy with tourists, especially in summer, and tickets are a bit pricey—but the experience is worth every moment. My tip is to book in advance and, if possible, pair it with a fjord cruise for the full “Norway in a Nutshell” adventure.

Brekkefossen

Nature preserve

Waterfalls
Brekkefossen is a short and accessible hike from Flam, offering a quick workout with an elevation gain of around 230m. Stone steps lead all the way up to the waterfall, ensuring a safe and manageable ascent. The trail provides stunning views of the fjord and valley, with well-marked paths and well-maintained rock steps. Hikers can enjoy peaceful surroundings by starting early in the morning and may even have the place to themselves.
Really fun hike just 15 minutes from Flam. The first part of the climb is all stairs and is about 500ft/150m. Go past the initial overlook through two more gates and youll follow a more natural trail that takes you above the falls, another 350ft/105m. Look for the hill of blueberries (bilberry), if they're ripe.

The hike to Brekkefossen waterfall is a must. The waterfall and panoramic view are absolutely magnificent. The ascent is made by steps, remember to wear good shoes!

A 20 minute pleasant walk from Flåm gets you to the trail head, from which a 25 - 30 minute moderately steep - but very doable - hike brings you to the viewing area of this beautiful waterfall. Not only is the waterfall stunning, but also are the views of Flåm. The viewing area is relatively flat and perfect for a well-deserved picnic after the half hour hike. Unlike many of the other attractions in Flåm area, the price for this attraction is right: free! Zilch, zero, nothing, nada! In my book, this is the top attraction in Flåm. Oh, did you know this is a UNESCO World Heritage Site???
Dr. H — Google review
A lot of stairs, for sure, but honestly worth it! When you get to the viewpoint you can enter a gate to keep going up and if you follow that path for about three minutes there is another path going down on the right side. It gets you a bit closer to brekkefossen, really beautiful!

It’s a great spot. I counted 572 steps, which is a good exercise, but totally worth it when you get to the top and see the waterfall as well as the view of the valley. You can encounter some wildlife along the way, such as sheep and mice in my case. Watch out for the poop on the trail!
