Balestrand Tours 2026

Among all the things to see in Norway, one of the most charming and beautiful villages is Balestrand, located in the northern part of Norway's largest and deepest fjord, Sognefjord. This picturesque village is easily reachable from Flåm by express boat and offers spectacular views from its highest peaks.

To make your Norway tour unforgettable, consider visiting Balestrand's unique aquarium, which covers an area of 700 m² and is beautifully situated right on the marina at the Sognefjord. If you have a free day in Balestrand and are looking for something extraordinary, we highly recommend a day trip to the Briksdal Glacier, one of the most famous glaciers in the world!

Though Balestrand is small, it’s regarded as one of the best places to visit in Norway. Its fascinating landscapes, charming houses, and peaceful atmosphere are hard to resist. Balestrand also offers a variety of outdoor activities like hiking and biking, which are especially memorable against the backdrop of impressive fjords.

For attractions to add to your Balestrand itinerary, consider St. Olaf's Church and the historic Kviknes Hotel, built in the 19th century, which offers stunning views of the surrounding Sognefjord.
