General presentation
Sognefjord et Flåm
Fjord is a major Norwegian route, with a large mountain train and villages marked between cliffs.
To understand what Sognefjord and Flåm are, you must look at Nærøyfjord, Flåm Line and Urnes Wooden Church. These places give you a view of a territory marked by the coastline, mountain reliefs, heritage and natural spaces and allow you to move from emblematic sites to more intimate stages.

For a stay of 4 to 8 days, it is better to balance visits and travel times. Also to be anticipated: conditions to be checked according to the season. A car is usually the easiest way to connect the different sectors. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be verified step by step.
