Admire the mix of Viking and Christian design from the outside of this 800-year-old wooden wonder. In Lærdalsøyri, a charming riverside village, you’ll find over 160 well-preserved wooden houses dating back to the 18th and 19th centuries.

The viewpoint platform extends 30 meters out above the fjord, offering an amazing, unobstructed view of the stunning landscape. On the way back, we drive along the official scenic route, a winding road offering panoramic views and more sightseeing of the Aurlandsfjord. Take in the breathtaking landscapes as we make our way back to Flåm. As the journey concludes, sit back and relax, enjoying the final views of the fjords as we return to Flåm.
