Western Norway: Towns | Holidays | Attractions

Beautiful Flåm is situated in the innermost part of the Aurlandsfjord, a tributary of the 204 kilometres long and up to 1308 metres deep Sognefjord. The spectacular scenery around this area has made it one of the most popular areas in Norway and yet, such is the nature of this country, there is plenty to spare for everyone.
