Aurlandsvangen is the administrative center of Aurland Municipality in Vestland county, Norway. The village is located on the east side of the Aurlandsfjorden (a branch of the main Sognefjorden) where the Aurlandselvi river flows into the fjord. The village of Undredal and the famous Nærøyfjord are located just a few kilometres to the northwest. Aurlandsvangen is located on the European route E16 highway about 10 km northeast of the village of Flåm and 32 km southwest of the village of Lærdalsøyri (through the Lærdal Tunnel). The 0.63 km2 village has a population (2019) of 824 and a population density of 1308 PD/km2. The Lærdal Tunnel has its western end on the south side of Aurlandsvangen, and it heads east through the Aurlandsfjellet mountains before reaching the eastern end of the tunnel near Tønjum in Lærdal Municipality.
