Kva er SAKTE?
SAKTE er lokal mat og råvarer i sesong. Det er menneska som dyrkar, bakar, ystar og skaper. Det er handverk, tradisjonar og historier med røter i staden. Men mest av alt handlar SAKTE om å oppleve meir. Å ta seg tid til å smake, møte menneska bak og bli litt betre kjent med staden du besøker.

For når vi senkar tempoet, får vi ofte meir med oss.
Meir smak. Fleire møte. Meir av staden.
Reis sakte. Opplev meir. 💚

What is SLOW?
SLOW is local food and seasonal ingredients. It is the people who grow, bake, make and create. It is craftsmanship, traditions and stories rooted in this place. But most of all, SAKTE is about experiencing more. Taking the time to taste, meet the people behind the experiences and truly get to know the place you are visiting.

Because when we slow down, we often experience more. More flavour. More connections. More of the place.

Travel slowly. Experience more.

Det er ikkje berre lange mattradisjonar me har i heimbygda vår.

Aurlandskoen har røter heilt tilbake til 1880-talet, og på 1920-talet utvikla Nils Tveranger den klassiske Aurlandskoen.

I dag kan du framleis kjøpe den tradisjonelle Aurlandskoen hos Aurland Skofabrikk, eit levande stykke Aurlandshistorie.

Bestefaren til Odd, han Nils, laga òg Aurlandsko, så me er ekstra stolte av at denne tradisjonen framleis lever vidare her ved fjorden.

Med kjærleik for lange tradisjonar...
Odd og Kristine

Welcome back to A Local’s Guide to Flåm & Aurland 📍🏔️

This time, we’re visiting a piece of Aurland history that you can still wear today: @aurlandskoen , home of the original penny loafer 👞✨

The Aurland shoe was born right here in the village.

Shoemaking became an important craft in Aurland, with generations of local shoemakers producing shoes here by the fjord.

And yes, this is the original penny loafer 👞
The classic Aurland shoe became known for its simple slip-on design and the characteristic leather strap across the front, a design that has remained remarkably similar over the years.

Sometimes you don’t need to mess with a classic ✨

There was a time when Aurland was full of shoemakers 🧵
Shoe production provided work for many people in the village, with the knowledge and techniques passed on through generations.

Today, that tradition continues on a much smaller scale.

Today, only four shoemakers remain in production here 👞👐
Each pair is still handmade in Aurland, keeping a craft alive that has been part of this little fjord village for generations.

That’s what makes visiting the factory pretty special.

Leather is cut, shaped and worked through the different stages of production by the shoemakers here at the factory🧵✂️

If you visit, you can get a glimpse of the craftsmanship behind every pair.

The classics are still classics 🤎

While you’ll find different colours, leathers and variations today, the traditional Aurland shoe has kept the simple, timeless expression it has become known for.

Made to be worn, repaired and kept for years.

And the leather doesn’t stop at shoes!

Leather offcuts from production are used to create smaller pieces like belts and bags, making use of material that might otherwise have gone to waste.

You might come for the shoes, but there’s plenty more to discover👜
Today, Aurlands also offers handbags, everyday bags, travel bags, wallets and other leather goods.

Fair warning: browsing can lead to impulse purchases ‼️

Visit the factory and shop in Aurland!

And if you’re anything like me, choosing which pair you want might be the hardest part 👞😅

Rainy day in Flåm? No problem 🌧️🏔️

There’s still plenty to experience! Take a scenic ride through the fjords, hop aboard the Flåm Railway, or simply embrace the weather and feel the mist from our many waterfalls up close 🚂🌊💦

A little rain is all part of the fjord experience ☔️✨

One of the best things about running an old hotel is being able to tell the stories of our hometown. 🤎

The stories of the shoemakers who once filled Aurland with workshops, the people who shaped our little village, and the traditions that still live on today.

And perhaps best of all, when a neighbour drops by and shares an old memory of someone we once held so dear.

At Vangsgaarden, history isn’t just in the old buildings. It lives in the stories, the people, and the memories that are still being shared. 🤎

en tobarnsmamma som plutselig fikk hodet over vann til å pynte seg litt (!!!) i egen fødegave:

Aurlandssko og vesken Vetla fra @aurlandskoen ! Produsert i Aurland i Norge🇳🇴 Også Isipisipants (det eneste som passer etter fødsel) og skjerf fra @andreasfeet sin butikk

Den originale Penny loaferen👞 Alltid tenkt at jeg skulle kjøpe slike når jeg ble voksen. Så leste jeg at Aurlands sliter økonomisk. Jeg er forkjemper for å beholde de få norske kles- og skoprodusentene som fremdeles finnes👏🏽 og jeg er 35 med to barn og takboks, ergo voksen

hva jeg pynta meg for? kjøpe lørdagsgodt hva ellers

Vesken Vetla funker på vogn også. Plass til en nødbleie og

heihei

og hadet, da går hodet ned under vann igjen🙇🏻‍♀️

When staying at Vangsgaarden, we always recommend a visit to Aurland Shoe Factory, the home of the original penny loafer. 🇳🇴

The story of the Aurlandskoen began here in Aurland, where shoemaker Nils Tveranger developed the distinctive shoe that later inspired the iconic penny loafer we know today.

Step inside the historic factory to discover generations of Norwegian craftsmanship, learn the story behind this world famous shoe and see how a timeless piece of Aurland’s heritage is still made today.

A true Norwegian original, born in the heart of the Sognefjord. 🤎

POV: choosing to stay in authentic Aurland, just outside Flåm 🇳🇴

Breakfast in an old hotel garden, discovering a local glassblower, stopping by the village bakery, visiting Norway’s only shoe factory, dining like the locals at the gastropub, and checking into one of the charming old wooden hotels for the night. A quiet little fjord village with plenty to explore and a slower, more authentic side of Norway. 🇳🇴
