Waterfall Hike & Stegastein Viewpoint Experience, Flåm

Join a relaxed scenic walk from Aurland to Turlifossen waterfall and discover the area's beautiful alpine terrain through the warmer months. Accompanied by a lively and professional guide, you'll follow the trailhead through farmland until you reach the refreshing cascades of the waterfall. Pause for some all-important photos, then hop in a vehicle and ascend the mountain road to the Stegastein viewpoint, where captivating panoramic views of the surrounding fjord and mountains await. This excursion is ideal for travelers seeking a personal and immersive experience in Norway's stunning fjord landscapes.

Your adventure begins at Flåm's inner harbor. You'll arrive ready to join your group and make the scenic 15-minute drive to Aurland with your experienced, knowledgeable guide. The hike, suitable for adults and children over six, is an easy to moderate 3-mile (5 km) walk, though with an uphill stretch, a fair degree of fitness is required. Upon arrival in Aurland, you'll set out from an organic agricultural school and follow an old farm path toward Turlifossen, a gorgeous hidden waterfall in a forest setting. In the company of your friendly guide, you'll also get an insight into the area's wildlife and history.

Enjoy a short break after the first leg of your walk as you get closer to the waterfall to snap some pics and enjoy the restorative mist from the cascades. Then, continue up the mountainside for a short while until you reach a small plateau, a perfect spot for a water break and to soak up the views of the fjord below. Now, you'll rest your legs for a bit as you reunite with your vehicle and travel up the infamous Aurlandsfjellet, the Aurland mountain road known locally as the "Snow Road," that takes you up to the Stegastein viewpoint.

Walk along the viewpoint that juts out 98 feet (30 m) from the mountain, and you'll feel like you're hovering over the pristine fjord, 2,132 feet (650 m) below. You'll have time to take some truly memorable photos before returning to the trailhead and heading back to Flåm. The schedule may vary based on weather and trail conditions.
