Aurland Essentials

Aurland showcases the dramatic landscape of Western Norway, centered around the UNESCO-listed Nærøyfjord and the steep Flåm Railway that ascends 863 meters to Myrdal. The region features engineering landmarks such as the 24.5-kilometer Lærdal Tunnel and the Stegastein Lookout, which extends 30 meters over the fjord. Cultural sites include the 12th-century Undredal Stave Church—Scandinavia's smallest—and the historic Otternes farm cluster, which preserves 27 buildings from the 18th century. The area is also a hub for high-altitude hiking through the Aurlandsdalen valley.

Natural Wonders of Aurland

Aurland’s landscape is defined by the UNESCO-listed Nærøyfjord, a narrow branch of the Sognefjord surrounded by cliffs rising 1,700 meters. The region features diverse geological formations, including Kjelfossen and Kjosfossen, which are among Norway's highest and most powerful waterfalls. The terrain extends from the fjord's edge to the high mountain plateaus of Bakkanosi and Rimstigfjellet, reaching glaciers like Øyaskavlen. The area also encompasses high-altitude wetlands and the Stegastein viewpoint, an architectural structure extending 30 meters over the Aurlandsfjord.
