About
Stegastein Viewpoint is a lookout platform in Aurland, near Flåm, on the Aurlandsvegen road in western Norway. It is also known as Stegastein Utsiktspunkt.
The platform reaches about 30 metres out from the mountainside, so visitors stand over the air with the valley below. It sits 650 metres above sea level, and from there the view opens over the Aurlandsfjord and the mountains that rise around it. The fjord landscape is part of a UNESCO World Heritage area, which gives the views their wider context.
What to expect
- A short walk to a cantilevered platform with wide panoramic views
- A clear look down the fjord and across the surrounding mountains
- A stop that suits a view-focused visit rather than a long programme
Because the platform projects from the rock, it gives a different perspective from the fjord floor. Many visitors pair it with the nearby village of Flåm, known for its waterfront and its connections to the scenic mountain railway, which makes it easy to build a day around the area.
