Norway Aurlandsfjord near Aurland

  • Please log in or sign up for free to see the GPS coordinates & weather for this photo spot
Amazing view over the Aurlandsfjord in Norway. The viewpoint is called Stegastein, 640m above sea level.

Stegastein is located near the southwestern end of the Norwegian scenic route Aurlandsfjellet. It is the only one of these routes for which a specific direction of travel is recommended: "Most scenic routes are stunning no matter what direction you drive in but this particular stretch presents its most dramatic side if you start the trip at Lærdal and drive towards Aurlandsvangen."
This route, with a pass altitude of 1,300 m, passes through one of the most dramatic wilderness and rocky desert landscapes. A grandiose arc of tension is built up in the recommended direction of travel.

Photography Tips

Early in the morning is good, because there are not many visitors there.

The elegantly shaped viewing platform at Stegastein is an attraction in itself. The view of the fjord landscape from the glass wall at the end of the platform is sensational. 30 m above the treetops and 650 m above the Aurlandsfjord, you get the impression of floating in the air. Wisps of fog make the fjord and the village of Aurlandsvangen disappear. Within seconds, clouds and fog break up, move through the fjord, push over the mountains and new ones fall down. As in every place of tourist importance in Norway, there is also a building here with a first-class toilet. There is a special highlight here: one of the toilets has a panoramic window overlooking the fjord.

True, the platform definitely looks impressive. Would love to visit it someday myself as well. Feel free to add some of your details to the spot description if you want to or I can do it for you because I think some of these infos are a great addition. Thank you for sharing them with us :)
