About the route
Travel easily between the charming fjord villages of Flåm and Aurland with the shuttle bus that runs several times a day. Experience the contrast between lively Flåm — known for its train and fjord cruises — and peaceful Aurland, famous for local food, crafts, and idyllic western Norwegian scenery.
During the summer season, the bus stops near the road leading up to the historic Otternes farm cluster. From there, it’s a short walk to the farmyard, where you’ll be rewarded with breathtaking views of the Aurlandsfjord.
About Aurland

About Flåm
Welcoming tourists for nearly 200 years, Flåm knows a thing or two about hospitality. The charming village is located at the innermost part of the Aurlandsfjord, in the heart of the fjord region. This is the perfect starting point for exploring some of the most spectacular natural attractions in Norway, with a wide variety of activities. The world famous Flåm Railway is one of the obvious highlights, a fjord cruise on the UNESCO-listed Nærøyfjord is another, and Scandinavia’s longest zipline is a third. Stay and dine at the historical Fretheim Hotel.
