Flåm
is on the E 16 main road from Bergen to Oslo. Apart from the quayside and
railway station with shops, there are one or two hotels and a railway museum.
Continuing east along the E 16 for a few minutes, there is an extraordinary tunnel 24 kilometers long, with large chambers every 6 km along. In winter it can be very cold outside (far below freezing) but the 16'C inside the tunnel will thaw out your car while it travels through - a strange feeling as you hear the ice and snow dropping off.
