In a nutshell
Stunning unspoilt scenery, lovely people
seeing the fjord from a mountain top
Hildeal Says: If you reach a mountain top in Geiranger you have a view for a lifetime . If you're afraid of heights I would not recommend this trip. Small kids should not be joining you on this trip. There are no fences there. .
DSwede Says: Just up the road from the port, the small church sits on the edge of the hill, with a wonderful view of the fjord. The small cemetery that sits adjacent gives those buried there an eternal front row seat to one of the best views.There is some information that a church was...
DSwede Says: Up the road between Geiranger and Dalsnibba, there is a small turn off which takes you to an old rock bridge.This bridge is part of the old road, before the current highway was constructed. The name Knuten, literally translates to the Knot.It was built in 1882 and current...
imariag Says: Not many people do it, but it is also possible to visit Geiranger during the winter season. It is even more difficult to get there than during the summer, partly because sometimes the roads are closed due to too much snow. But it is still incredibly beautiful. And soooo...
MikeAtSea Says: The Eagles' Road links the Geirangerfjord with the Norddalsfjord. It climbs in 11 hairpin bends, with fine views of the Geirangerfjord and its waterfalls, to Korsmyra where it reaches its highest point with 624 m, and then descends, passing the Eidsvann, to Eidsdal.
MikeAtSea Says: The Seven Sisters can only been seen from the Fjord as one sails towards Geiranger, i is a waterfall consisting of seven separate streams. The tallest one has a free fall that measures 250 meters. The legend of the seven sisters is that they dance playfully down the...
MikeAtSea Says: A narrow road twists at one with nature through the Strynefjell pass, a bit of Norwegian road-building history, which was the only road for vehicular traffic between Skjåk and Stryn for most of the previous century. In 1997 the road was designated a tourist route, and was...
MikeAtSea Says: Along the deepest lake of Europe one can find the town Horningdal, a small community that lives of tourism and farming. Visit the old church of Horningdal which was built in the traditional way. A boat pier invites visititors to take a boat tour on the lake, or simply relax...
MikeAtSea Says: This stunning glacier lake is situated at the bottom of the Stryn Valley. The largest glacier on earth feeds the lake with many rivers and waterfalls, therefore its greenish colour. Many resorts can be found all around the lake making it a popular summer destination with...
MikeAtSea Says: Norangsdalen is one of the narrowest valleys in Norway, rich in both spectaculare sceneries as well as cultural memories. The valley bears the scars of the battle against the forces of nature. At lake Jelskred, the bottom of the valley is full of scree. At Urasætra and...

Maria_75 Says: If you want to get to Geiranger you have to go by boat on the fjord, or by car or bus down one of two steep mountain roads with endlessly many hairpin bends.One of the roads, Ørneveien or Mini-Trollstigen, goes over the mountain from Geiranger to Eidsdal. Here you have to...
Friendly people, beautiful nature and a murder
Hildeal Says: This is one of the things the Norwegians usually associate with Geiranger. In 1995 a young Norwegian girl (Trude) working at Geiranger Hotel was found killed and raped outside of the center of Geiranger but apparently nobody saw or heard anything. This was a really...
dont try to cross the fjords by swimming!
Hildeal Says: Transportation is not cheap or easy to get when you're in the middle of the Geiranger fjords. But you should NEVER try to cross the fjord by swimming like a tourist tried. She forgot to arrange the transportation back to the harbor so she decided to swim with her purse in...
globalvillager Says: Transportation in Geiranger may be problemmatic. As with everything in Norway, taxis are expensive. Buses are reliable, but not necessarily available when you need them. Having your own car is more convenient.
don't forget to arrange your transportation
Hildeal Says: if you want to get to somewhere in the fjords like Skagaflaa ,you have to arrange with someone to get you there and you have to arrange how to get back too. Getting someone to take you there is quite expensive .You should not rent a kayak unless you have some...
Diana75 Says: Even in August it's pretty cold in the fjords region and on the mountains picks there is also snow.If you climb the mountains, especially if you go on Dalsnibba, a warm coat is definitely a must, but also a rain coat will help. Mandatory. The view of the fjords creates...
Hildeal Says: Kvivsflaa is really the beaten path but if you like it more remote ..If you look closely you'll see an isolated cabin up there. This is where our royal family had their celebration some years ago with royal visitors from all over Scandinavia. They even rented a helicopter to...
Diana75 Says: Geiranger is famous also for the beautiful waterfalls in the area.Everybody is talking about the stunning Seven Sisters and Bride Veil waterfalls that you can admire a boat trip around Geiranger fjord. But also on the road to Geiranger coming from south and after passing...
MikeAtSea Says: Norway is one of the largest petrol producing nations on earth, one would assume that petrol is relativley cheap. Think again - a litre of petrol set you back over US$ 3 or EUR 2.60 - take this in to consideration when planning a road trip, since fuel is almost double to...
evaanna Says: The garden at the back of our house was the main reason why we stayed there four times already. It was a charming place on the slope of the cliff going all the way down to the fjord.The fjord and the whole village of Geiranger lay in the valley before us. We could see...
