Flam lies just south of Aurlandsfjord, which is a twisty watery branch of the larger Sognefjord in southwest Norway. The fjords near Flåm are truly stunning, some of the most famous in the world, and visitors to the area can take a short day trip aboard a fjord cruise, which lasts anywhere from 1 to 4 hours and will take guests to see some of the most amazing UNESCO World Heritage fjords in existence. Guides on these cruises will show guests local points of interest, such as rock formations, mountains, glaciers, and even some local history and legends about the area.
