You step out of Flåm’s small harbor and the minivan curls away from the quay, the fjord’s flat mirror slipping behind you as the road begins to climb. The air tightens with pine and spray; waterfalls announce themselves before you can see them. Your private driver-guide times stops so the landscape can speak — close and sudden at Stalheim, wide and slow at the mouth of Nærøyfjord.
