Skahjem Gard

Marvelous multi-generational farm property, just 10 minutes drive from Flam. Accomedations are basic; the kitchenette is small, the bedding is Ikea-style, and the soundproofing between rooms is non-existent. You won't be spending much time inside as the grounds are beautiful and adventures are at your doorstep. Location is perfect for somewhere to stay while doing the Flam fjord cruise. Owners are friendly, speak impeccable English, and are more then generous with local guide tips.

First off, let me just say how lovely the hosts are! We got stranded in Flåm when an avalanche stopped our bus from running, and the owners of the place came and picked us up. Lovely people too. As for the accommodation, it's well equipped, and the little kitchenette is surprisingly useful if you want to cook your own food or prepare some lunch for a bit of hiking. The shower is great, the beds comfy (and fully made up... ignore the old reviews that state otherwise), and the surroundings are beautiful. Town is a 2-3km walk, although the owners offered us bikes (we didn't take them up on this), and there is a nice waterfall 10 minutes walk away. There are some downsides. The building comprises a number of apar**ents, and the walls are exceptionally thin. We were unlucky enough to have two separate noisy families next door for the two nights we stayed who decided to rearrange the furniture at 1am, or just talk loudly and incessantly. Overall, well recommended, but bring earplugs if you're a light sleeper.

Great place to stay if you want to visit Aurdalen and Flåm. With car: 5 minutes into Aurdal, 10 minutes to Flåm. Clean room, friendly owner, fair pricing and superb breakfastpackage from the local bakery. We enjoyed our stay and will surely return next time we want to visit this area.
