aurland.jpgAurland Norway is one of greatest architecture masterpieces of modern history. Designed by Todd Saunders and Tommie Wilhelmsen, offers a spectacular view of one of the largest fjords on Norway’s west coast.

Constructed in the most spectacular scenery of fijords near Aurland, this panoramic point situated on the jagged west coast. Architecture of this object joined in complete harmony with environment and create an extreme thrilling experience. Architects designed a 30-metre-long ramp-like walk to the open space, and treating visitors to a breathtaking feeling. A virtually invisible 1.2-metre-high glass barrier perpetuates the sense of potentially falling off the edge of this structure.
