Excursions in Flåm

Nestled in the heart of Norway's fjord country, Flåm is a hidden gem that's waiting to be explored. At Foxiepass, we're passionate about sharing the breathtaking beauty and rich history of this enchanting village with visitors from around the world. Our guided tours offer you a chance to experience Flåm like a local, uncovering its secrets and marveling at its natural wonders. Let's take a journey through some of the most popular spots you'll visit with us!

The Flåm Railway: A Ride to Remember

Picture this: you're sitting comfortably in a vintage train car, the gentle clackety-clack of wheels on rails filling your ears. As you pull away from the station, the world outside your window transforms into a panorama of stunning beauty. Welcome to the Flåm Railway, often hailed as one of the world's most beautiful train journeys!

Our tour guides love to share fun facts about this engineering marvel as we climb nearly 3,000 feet through the mountains. Did you know the train slows down at the most picturesque spots so you can snap the perfect photo? Keep your eyes peeled for the dancing Huldra at Kjosfossen waterfall – she's part of local folklore and puts on quite a show!

Aurlandsfjord and Nærøyfjord: Nature's Masterpieces

If the train ride left you breathless, wait until you see the fjords! Our boat tours of Aurlandsfjord and Nærøyfjord will have you pinching yourself to make sure you're not dreaming. These UNESCO World Heritage sites are like something out of a fairy tale, with crystal-clear waters reflecting towering cliffs and cascading waterfalls.

As we glide along the calm waters, our guides will regale you with tales of Viking explorers who once sailed these same fjords. You might even spot a seal or two lounging on the rocks – they're notoriously camera-shy, so have your phone ready!

Stegastein Viewpoint: Touch the Sky

Fancy standing on top of the world? Well, Stegastein Viewpoint is pretty darn close! This architectural marvel juts out 30 meters from the mountainside, offering a bird's-eye view of Aurlandsfjord that'll make your Instagram followers green with envy.

Our guides always get a kick out of watching visitors' reactions as they step onto the glass-fronted platform. It's perfectly safe, we promise, but it still gives you that thrilling sensation of floating above the fjord. Pro tip: this is the perfect spot for a group photo!

Flåm Village: Charm in Every Corner

Back in Flåm village, there's plenty more to explore. Our walking tours will take you through:

• The quaint Flåm Church, a wooden beauty dating back to 1667
• The Flåm Railway Museum, where you can dive deeper into the history of this engineering feat
• Local craft shops, where you can pick up unique souvenirs (the hand-knitted sweaters are a favorite!)
• Ægir Brewery & Pub, housed in a building inspired by Viking architecture (and serving some mighty fine craft beer, if we do say so ourselves)

And let's not forget about the food! Our culinary tours will introduce you to traditional Norwegian dishes. Ever tried brunost (brown cheese) on a waffle? It's a local delicacy that's sure to surprise your taste buds!

The Great Outdoors: Hikes and Bikes

For our more adventurous visitors, we offer guided hikes and bike tours. The surrounding mountains are crisscrossed with trails suitable for all fitness levels. Whether you want a gentle stroll along the fjord or a challenging trek up to a mountain lake, we've got you covered.

Our favorite? The hike to Brekkefossen waterfall. It's a bit of a climb, but the view from the top is worth every step. Plus, our guides know all the best spots for a mid-hike picnic!

At Foxiepass, we believe that travel is about more than just seeing the sights – it's about creating memories, learning something new, and maybe even making a few friends along the way. So why not join us for an adventure in Flåm? We promise it'll be a journey you'll never forget!
