Flåm, Norway

Flåm, Norway is one of those places that looks like a postcard in every direction. The day started with a visit to the Stegastein Viewpoint, where the platform extends out over 2100 feet over the fjord and offers incredible views of the mountains, water, and tiny villages below.

In the afternoon, we boarded the famous Flåm Railway for a relaxing train ride through steep valleys, waterfalls, and dramatic mountain landscapes. The difference in altitude is a little over .5 mile. The steepest incline is 55% and there are 20 tunnels. The Norwegians say you can experience three seasons in one day. Even with the changing weather we experienced, the scenery was spectacular from start to finish.Read more
