About this experience

Norway's most popular animated film is ”Flåklypa Grand Prix”, produced by Ivo Caprino and Kjell Aukrust. The name Flåklypa has to do with two specific stones in the river Bøvra, close to the farm Flå.

In earlier times, when the hay was brought home from the mountain farms, usually by horse sledge transport on the ice covered river during winter, they had to pass between the two stones. The passage was so narrow, that the load was stripped on the sides. This historical detail adds an intriguing element to the film's title and plot.

Located 8 kilometers southwest of Lom, on the road 55, the area surrounding Flåklypa is not only known for its beautiful scenery, but also for its ties to the film industry. The success of ”Flåklypa Grand Prix” has helped to put this small town on the map, drawing in tourists and film enthusiasts alike.
