Aurlandsfjord is a
fjord in
Sogn og Fjordane county,
Norway. The fjord flows through the municipalities of
Aurland,
Vik, and
Lærdal. The long fjord is a branch off of the main
Sognefjorden, Norway's longest fjord. The fjord is deep and narrow, reaching a depth of about below sea level, and its width is generally less than wide. About south of the mouth of the fjord, the
Nærøyfjord branches off from it to the west. The village of
Flåm sits at the innermost part of the Aurlandsfjord; other villages along the fjord are
Aurlandsvangen and
Undredal. Most of the fjord is surrounded by up to tall, steep mountains with little habitation along the fjord except for in a few small valleys.
