Enjoy a panoramic hike above fjords!

Experience a beautiful hike with fewer crowds and stunning views of the Aurlandsfjord. Our tour begins with a drive from Flåm to a local goat farm, situated at an elevation of 460 meters.

5-hour option:
From parking lot we’ll follow a well-marked trail to the old mountain farm situated 780 meters above the fjord. This hike is classified as “medium challenging,” with some steep sections along the way. However, the path is manageable for those with a reasonable fitness level. Once at the top, you’ll be rewarded with one of the best views of the fjord and the surrounding mountain landscape before we retrace our steps back to trailhead.

4-hour option:
A slightly shorter option but still with amazing views over the fjord and surrounding mountains. From parking lot we will follow the same trail as the 5-hour option but then opt for a lower viewpoint. This means a lot less steep sections and a shorter distance, but still with the rewarding views!
