Årdalstangen

Årdalstangen is the administrative centre of Årdal Municipality in Vestland county, Norway.

[1] The village is situated along the end of the Årdalsfjord [no], an inner branch off of the great Sognefjord.

One road and two pedestrian bridges cross Hæreidselvi river which runs through the village, flowing from lake Årdalsvatnet into the Årdalsfjord.

Årdalstangen serves as an important transportation hub for the aluminium industry.

Norsk Hydro's site for production of coal for anodes and small port at the end of the Årdalsfjord are located here.
