Aurlandsdalen - wild & beautiful

Aurlandsdalen, the Aurland Valley, with its rich and scenic fauna, the wild river winding through the landscape, and stunning views to the fjords and mountains.

One of Norway's most beautiful hikes starts on the mountain plateau Hardangervidda. The first part goes through Skarvheimen with its barren mountains, and then down the Aurland valley through the lush valleys and a rich cultural landscape. At the end of your trip you will end up down by the Aurland Fjord. Hiking this route will give you a close up experience of some of the beautiful variations the fjord region has to offer. The contrasts in the landscape are amazing - from a barren rocky landscape to green flourishing valleys, majestic mountains to roaring rapids. It is recommended that you use three to four days on this trip from Finse to Flåm. But if you take the bus from the cabin Geiteryggen to Østerbø you can do the trip in only two days.

See The Norwegian Trekking Association for more information.
