From its terrace, marvel at the cascading waterfalls and the hairpin turns of Stalheimskleiva road below, once a thrilling route for travelers. The valley's dramatic landscape, carved by glaciers over millennia, presents an unforgettable vista of natural beauty and historical significance.
Stalheimsfossen Waterfall
Stalheimsfossen, a majestic 126-meter (413 feet) waterfall, thunders down the mountainside near Stalheimskleiva. Although the historic hairpin road is now closed to car traffic, a short walk brings you closer to the roaring cascade, allowing you to feel the freshness of the spray and appreciate the raw power of nature. The waterfall is one of two prominent waterfalls visible from Stalheim, adding to the dramatic scenery of the Nærøydalen valley.

Meet modern-day Vikings, learn about their crafts, traditions, and way of life, and experience the vibrant atmosphere of a bygone era. (Entrance fee not included. Option to extend visit.)

Ascend to the Stegastein viewpoint, a breathtaking platform extending 30 meters (98 feet) out from the mountainside, suspended 650 meters (2,130 feet) above the Aurlandsfjord. Prepare to be awestruck by the panoramic vistas of the fjord below, framed by towering mountains. This architectural marvel offers an unparalleled perspective on the dramatic beauty of the fjord landscape, making it a must-see destination.
