WanderLyn: Get Your 10K in.… Flåm, Norway!

You’ve hiked hills, danced through decades, and crushed every step goal from here to the Amalfi Coast—and now it’s time to lace up those shoes and strut your fabulous self through Flåm, Norway.

This little fjord-side village may look sleepy at first glance, but don’t be fooled—there’s a whole world of adventure packed into this postcard-perfect spot. We’re talking trains, ziplines, bikes, waterfalls, and waffles (yes, W.A.F.F.L.E.S.). And with 10,000 steps/pedals waiting for you right off the cruise ship terminal, you know it’s about to be one unforgettable day.

Start your day like a true adventurer: with carbs. As soon as you step off the ship, head straight to Flåm Bakeri, a cozy little gem near the train station. Order a traditional vafler—a heart-shaped Norwegian waffle topped with sour cream and berry jam—and savor that sweet, tangy, delicious bite. Trust me, it's the pre-adventure treat you didn’t know you needed.

Next up: the legendary Flåm Railway. Ranked among the most scenic train rides in the world, this journey takes you through emerald valleys, along steep cliffs, past dramatic waterfalls, and into full-on nature awe. You’ll even get a chance to step out and meet Kjosfossen, a thunderous waterfall with serious diva energy. Pro tip? Keep your camera at the ready by the window and soak up every second—this is nature’s red carpet, and you’ve got front row seats.


When the train drops you off, it’s time to level up—literally. Just a short walk away (with a handy restroom stop, you're welcome) is the Flåm Zipline, the longest in Scandinavia. Don’t even think about chickening out. It’s secure, exhilarating, and totally WanderLyn-approved. You’ll be suited up, goggled (bring your own if you want to see clearly), and ready to fly. Then it’s just you, the wind, the fjord, and more shades of green than a paint store. Pure magic.

At the bottom of your zipline flight, hop on a bike and cruise through a
breathtaking valley. Picture mountains, waterfalls, grazing sheep, and tiny villages that look like they were plucked from a fairytale. There’s a little bit of uphill action (because we’re strong like that), but mostly it’s smooth sailing on a scenic road made for peaceful pedaling. Snap some selfies, breathe in the mountain air, and soak in the soul-nourishing views.

Once you’re back in Flåm, it’s time to toast your adventure in true Viking fashion. Head to Ægir BrewPub, the town’s rustic, Viking-themed microbrewery. Whether you’re into bold beers or delicate elderflower ciders, they’ve got something to raise a glass to. So grab your drink of choice, throw your hair back, and say it with me: “Cheers to 10K and killing it in Norway!”

Feeling inspired? You should be. This bold Norwegian day is calling your name, and all the booking details are ready for you right here:

Packing Tips for Your Flåm Fierce Day:

  • Layers, layers, layers (Norwegian weather has more moods than a soap opera, rain or shine this adventure in FINE)

  • Comfy shoes made for walking, biking, and ziplining

  • Sunglasses or protective eyewear—upgrade those rental goggles

  • A power bank (your camera roll’s about to explode)

  • And, of course, your strongest selfie game 💁‍♀️

This isn’t just another walk in the park. It’s a leap into joy, thrill, nature, and deliciousness—all in one gorgeous fjord-side village. You’ve earned every bite, breeze, and breathtaking view. So get out there and make those steps fabulous.
