Geirangerfjord

The UNESCO-protected Geirangerfjord - There are many ways to discover the stunning beauty of this UNESCO-protected landscape: by foot, by fjord, or by zipping up the mountain road to Dalsnibba in an electric Twizy car for two. Pack some treats from Geiranger Sjokolade - the chocolate shop down by the fjord, a sandwich with award-winning local cheese and som e raspberrry juice, and you are ready to explore.

Wel-marked trails lead to tucked-away mountain farms at Skageflå and the roaring waterfall Storseterfossen, with a path that leads you behind the water curtain. 

Get the most from your visit to Geiranger by joining a fjord cruise, a guided hike, kayak or RIB tour. The tiny, but hospitable village has welcomed visitors from all over the world since the first tourist cruise sailed through the fjord in 1869. The locals, proud to show off the beautifullandscape they call home, started offering transport to royals and tourists to viewpoints, first by horse-drawn carriages and later by luxurious convertible cars. Who would have thought that a hundred years ago, this small village by the fjord had more cars per capita than New York City? Some of them are still around for you to see at the veteran car museum in Hotel Union.

After a visit to the Norwegian fjord Centre, you will know more about local culture and nature, from how the landscape was created to the present day.As you Exit, don't miss the Waterfall Walk from the Fjord Centre leading down to the fjord. Every season has its charm, and transforms the landscape from lush, almost neon-green in the spring to white and serene in the winter. 

The Ørnevegen road to Geirangerstays open the whole year through so that you can discover new colors, sights and activities with every season.
