Flam, Norway Tucked at the end of a fjord, tiny Flam huddles between steep peaks and deep, still water. It's an amazing experience. Return by the same route, or take one of the world's most scenic drives through the Romsdal Alps. You will never forget sailing into the grandest fjord in all Scandinavia. The waters are glassy and lacy waterfalls dance down from dizzying heights on either side.
Tiny farms cling impossibly to sheer mountainsides.
And at the end is a friendly town and a roadway to the crest of the mountain called Eagle's Nest, for a bird's eye view of the waterway seen from the sky. This magnificent fjord is the second largest in Norway, a vast waterway inland between the towering mountains of the Hardanger Plateau - snowy above yet colorful below with orchards and farmsteads. Hellesylt, Norway One of the highlights of the fjordland, tiny Hellesylt lies at the head of Sunnylvenfjord. Near the village, a glacier-fed stream plunges over the sheer granite face of the fjord, cascading in thousands of feet of rainbows and foam. This majestic area, with its breathtaking glaciers and mountain lakes, inspired Henrik Ibsen's immortal drama Brand.
