Flåm Helicopter Tour — Aurlandsfjord, Nærøyfjord (UNESCO), Stegastein
Flåm is the cruise village at the inner end of Aurlandsfjord, deep within the Sognefjord system. From here, a helicopter tour takes you over Aurlandsfjord and the UNESCO-listed Nærøyfjord (the narrowest fjord in Europe), past the Stegastein viewpoint and along the dramatic Flåm Railway corridor — the most concentrated fjord-and-mountain experience in Norway.
Why Flåm is the perfect helicopter base
Flåm sits at a junction: the Sognefjord (Norway's longest), Aurlandsfjord (its branch), Nærøyfjord (UNESCO), and the Flåm Railway corridor leading up to Myrdal. From a single helicopter departure point you can cover all of these — most cruise passengers see only Flåm village and the railway, but from above you see the entire fjord system.
This tour pairs naturally with our wider Western Norway fjords helicopter experience, our Hardangerfjord aerial tour, or a longer charter to Geirangerfjord (UNESCO) further north.
