Majestic, snow-covered mountain peaks, beautiful and wild waterfalls, lush, green vegetation and the deep blue waters of the fjord – yes, it really is like something taken from a fairy tale. Take a fjord sightseeing trip and see it all! Or follow the rinds that twist and turn steeply through one hair-pin bend after another up to Dalsnibba, Flydalsjuvet and Ørnesvingen. From here you will have a fantastic view of one of the most beautiful scenic panoramas anywhere in the world.

The Geirangerfjord is one of Norway’s most visited tourist sites and has been listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2005. Along the fjord sides, there a number of now abandoned farms. The most commonly visited among these are Skageflå, Knivsflå and Blomberg. Skageflå may also be reached on foot from Geiranger, while the others can only be seen from the fjord.
Waterfalls; The fjord is also host to several impressive waterfalls. The two most notable waterfalls in the Geirangerfjord are the even Sisters and the Suitor (also called ‘the Wooer’). The two falls face one another across the fjord, and the Suitor is said to be trying to woo the sisters opposite.
The Bridal Veil is another waterfall in the fjord, so named because it falls delicately over one rocky edge, and when seen backlit by the Sun it has the appearance of a thin veil over the rocks.
