Aurlandsdalen — Local services in Aurland

Wandering through the wild Aurlandsdal is pure magic. There are no roads at the bottom of the Aurlandsdalen Valley, making it the most beautiful and wildest hiking trail in western Norway. Taking a trip from Østerbø to Vassbygdi through the Nesbøgalden rock arcade brings great enjoyment. Countless waterfalls, stunning rocks formations, mountains, old farms - all this is simply wonderful. Not for nothing, this trail is called the Grand Canyon of Norway and it is ranked among the TOP 5 hikes throughout Norway in many guides.

This area is wild and breathtaking, rich in plant and animal life, cultural treasures, history and geological features. We can hike through the valley and stay overnight in the mountain lodges along the way, or come by bus or private car for...

Great trek for a relaxing day. Beautiful points of interest. Keep in mind that the morning public bus does not run starting with september.

tipp 1: if the express bus is overbooked, there is a mini bus that belongs to the accommodation in Østerbø Fjellstove AS and runs at the same hour in the morning from Vassbygdi to Osterbo. Same price as the express bus. Be at the parking place in Vassbygdi or call them in advance.

tipp 2: if you don't want to do the entire trek, the most interesting part (also the easiest one) is from Osterbo to Stondalen - 2 hours walking including photo time. You just have to park your car in Stondalen, catch the bus on it's way to Osterbo and trek...
