7. The world's most beautiful train journey

Taking a journey through the Flåm Valley on the Flåm Railway, voted as one of the most beautiful train journeys, should be on everyone's bucket list. The Flåmsbana takes you from zero to 864 metres above sea level in only an hour, through the verdant Flåm Valley.

9. Lush and stunning nature

The Flåm Valley is a verdant paradise in the late spring, summer and early autumn. For the ultimate valley experience, start your journey by taking the Flåmsbana from Flåm to Myrdal, then walk or cycle through the valley back down to Flåm. 

10. Cycle through the colourful valley

It's no wonder that cycling from Myrdal to Flåm through the Flåm Valley is a popular activity!

The day trip to Aurlandsdalen, from Østerbø to Vassbygdi, is full of grandiose vistas of rocky landscapes, deep, lush valleys and cascading waterfalls and rivers. The valley is referred to as Norway's Grand Canyon – and for good reason.
