About this experience
Exclusive small group tour! - a rare glimpse into Norway’s soul, carved in rocks and ridges, caressed by water and wind.
From the tranquil village of Flåm, journey into a landscape shaped by time. Drive up to an old postal inn and follow your guide on an easy downhill walk along the curves of Stalheimskleiva, one of Norway’s steepest and most storied roads. Admire the waterfalls tumbling beside you and the valley unfolding like a painting.
Drive to Gudvangen, a fjord-side gem framed by towering peaks and the UNESCO-listed Nærøyfjord, where myth and mist linger over quiet green waters. Listen to the real-life fairytale of the rugged countryside which witnessed Norway's transition from Viking settlements to a welfare state.
Proceed along the spectacular 'Aurlandsfjellet', one of the 18 National Scenic Roads. A grand finale awaits us atop the world-famous Stegastein Viewpoint. Perched 700 meters above the fjord, its imaginative glass-fringed platform offers a jaw-dropping panorama.
