The Stegastein Viewpoint juts 100ft (30m) out from the mountain 1,250ft (650m) above Aurlandsfjord. While in Flåm, we rented a car to visit the viewpoint and explore a few other attractions around Aurlandsfjord by road.

eMobility Position: 7 6.90, 60 51.69 In a bid to minimize the environmental impact of tourism, the main form of rental car in Flåm are these Renault Twizy electric cars from eMobility. Here’s us in our Twizy, ready to go.

Twizy Position: 7 12.77, 60 55.13 Taking in the view over Aurlandsfjord partway up to the Stegastein Viewpoint. You can see the Twizy has gull-wing doors and the left door is open.

Aurlandsfjord Position: 7 12.84, 60 55.02 Looking down Aurlandsfjord toward the junction with Nærøyfjord.

Stegastein Viewpoint Position: 7 12.74, 60 54.52 The Stegastein Viewpoint juts 100ft (30m) out from the mountain 1,250ft (650m) above Aurlandsfjord.

Platform View Position: 7 12.71, 60 54.52 The sweeping view from Stegastein Viewpoint across Aurlandsfjord with the town of Aurlandsvangen directly below.

Tunnel Position: 7 16.42, 60 52.32 Heading into a tunnel in our Twizy on our way up the river valley east of Aurlandsvangen. eMobility offers two two-hour tours, one to the Stegastein Viewpoint and the other up the valley to the village of Vassbygdi just past the Aurland III power station. If you conserve power extremely carefully, it looked possible to be able to do both. So James was at his best driving behaviour ever. We did them both and were still one power indicator bar from the bottom when we returned to Flåm.

Turbine Position: 7 19.31, 60 52.43 At the Aurland III power station. The facility isn’t open for tours, but they did have an impressive turbine mounted out front.

Vassbygdi Lake Position: 7 18.68, 60 52.06 A quick lunch at the edge of the Vassbygdi Lake before returning back to Flåm.

Turlifossen Position: 7 13.07, 60 53.82 Turlifossen waterfall on the road back toward Aurlandsvangen.
