Stegastein Viewpoint & Nærøyfjord Cruise, Aurland

Overview

Discover some of the region's most beautiful scenery as you make your way to Stegastein Viewpoint, a platform standing 2,132 feet (650 meters) above the fjord below and jutting 98 feet (30 meters) from the cliffs. This is an attraction not to be missed and has won various awards for its construction and views. There are also opportunities to hike around the surrounding areas and admire the scenery.

Now that you've enjoyed the fjord from above, it's time to explore it from the water. First, your guide will take you to Flåm, where you'll board a fjord cruise. The Nærøyfjord is surrounded by steep mountains, cascading waterfalls, and snow-covered peaks reaching up to 5,905 feet (1800 meters) high. The Nærøyfjord is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is considered one of the world's most beautiful landscapes. Besides the incredible scenery, enjoy views of tiny fishing villages filled with traditional Norwegian wooden houses.
