We did this via Norway’s Best. It’s a company what operates all these tours in Flam area. We did hire a camper van for our trip but after reading all the reviews about the hairpin road, we decided to park the camper van in the camp site and join a local bus tour. We only booked the ticket the night before. However, if you’d visit here in the summer. I would highly recommend to book your ticket the earliest you can. It can get really busy. The bus driver told us that in busy days, people cannot get up to the viewpoint due to the capacity. Well, it is true that the road’s traffic will become bad when more cars are going through the small road. The width of the road is 1 car width. However the road is TWO WAY! Meaning you will always have to give way when traffic is bad. You definitely don’t want to do this with big cars like camper van. With regards to the viewpoint, I would recommend going there in the morning when there are less people!

We took a detour to Stegastein viewpoint after going through the Laerdal tunnel up through hair-pin roads zigzagging across the mountain side. Hint- there’s an even better view with nobody there if you cross the road from Stegastein and do a short climb onto the top of the hill! I did it in Bikenstocks, so no fancy footwear for hiking needed. ☑️ unisex public toilets available for free at the top, some even with big windows overlooking the incredible view! There’s allotted parking for the viewpoint but there wasn’t enough for everybody, so you can park along the road. ❎ The actual lookout point is quite congested with people, but they wait patiently for their turn and it just means that there’s always someone to take your picture for you! There’s a lot of waiting for people to come past on the journey as the roads are quite narrow, but it just shows how good the attraction is that lots of people want to be there.

It was quite an expensive 30 minute ride in the mini van to the viewpoint, where you can stay for up to 20 minutes, before making the journey back to Flam station. There was no commentary at all and it was basically a ride up to the viewpoint and back. The toilets there were also closed. Granted, there are beautiful views, especially of the fjord, when you get to the glass end of the short walkway. But as it was icy, it was quite treacherous walking and some people slipped and fell. If you decide to do this, you need to buy tickets from the main Flam station hall when you arrive, as seats are limited to 12 per bus. n

Fantastic views of the fjord, mountains and valley from a viewing platform that juts out from the hillside giving a spectacular vantage point. We made the drive to the top early in the morning and I was grateful not to meet any buses on the narrow winding road to the viewpoint. We saw a couple of sturdy hikers and bicyclists who were both prepared for the long climb and apparently unaware of the strenuous trip they'd undertaken. Coming early allowed us a few minutes alone at Stegastein after a tour group departed. Well-worth the trip even after seeing other beautiful Norwegian scenery.

Absolutely gorgeous view point! A must visit if you are in Flam! The entire journey is so scenic with winding hair pin bend narrow roads! I took a ton of photos. On the way back, the bus driver stopped at a lower point where you could capture some more beautiful pictures! I took the tourist bus from Flam Info center. The drive is about 30 mins to the view point from Flam. Make sure you go really early to avoid a crowd! Carry food/snacks if you want to eat up there and carry a water bottle too as there is no drinking water available at the top. There is a decent restroom.

Unfortunately the only time we had up here the view was completely obscured by a cloud. :( Since we were in Flåm only for a day it was tough luck for us. We took a small minibus tour to the view point which stopped there about 25 minutes, but we had no luck with the clouds. Lucky that our guide took us to a lower stop point which also had a good view of the fjord, just without the clear glass view we could've seen from above. If you're there in Flåm for more than a day and have a car, it would be better to drive up there on a clear day for the view :)
