This fjord is gorgeous, the narrowness of it with near sheer vertical snow capped mountains surrounding and cascading waterfalls makes it a picture perfect setting that is almost unbelievable. There are a few elevated viewing points that are ideal to make the most of the stunning scenery and capturing outstanding photos. A cruise on the fjord is well worthwhile to maximise the fjord in its entirety.

We emphasize on experiencing and "doing" the pristine Norwegian wilderness combined with meeting local culture and history. This through local encounters, food, and products.

I recommend one of the small boat tours to see it from all angles AND get up close. The small boat tours are cheaper and quicker if you want to do some hiking afterwards.

We took a Mt Dalsnibba moutain bus trip with Fjordservice to the top of this mountain, reasonably priced. The journey was beautiful as you started at the green fjord with waterfalls at Geiranger, through green pastures and waterfalls on this winding road, then through tundra with more and more snow until you got to the top of Mt. Dalsnibba with its snow covered rocky peaks. This road goes through some of Norway's best scenery. We were lucky to have a clear day, although the clouds rolled in while we were there. I was amazed at the skill of our driver as the steep road is too narrow in places for two vehicles to pass so one has to stop at the wider sections. I can't imagine driving this in bad weather. This skywalk was just opened in 2016 and provides a nice viewing platform for a panoramic view of the scenery around you. You can see down to our starting point in one place. Even in summer, there is some snow here. Part of it is a toll road. There is a nice gift shop at the top and picnic tables. Very cool. I liked passing Djupvatnet, a beautiful lake with a hotel.

Looking for gifts and souvenirs for your loved ones back home? Who does not love chocolate?? We make our own internationally awarded chocolate downstairs, peep into our production from the fjord side. We do things a little bit different. Have you ever tried chocolate with cheese inside? Or whisky? Or typical Norwegian wild berries like cloudberry and lingonberry? We also sell other delicatessen made by other small local businesses. Home made soft-ice cream and chocolate waffles on a stick is other popular treats or one of our 5 different hot chocolates on a cold Norwegian summer day.

Very charming shop filled with excellent quality of handmade chocolates. Swedish chocolatier offers various tastes of chocolates. I strongly recommend to try chocolates with aquavitt and brown cheese. They are very unique and probably you cannot find these any other place. If you are lucky you can taste fantastic local strawberries with chocolates????.

When we got off of our cruise ship we first walked up the road that winds out of Geiranger. After we got up near the little church we discovered that there is another sidewalk with steps that goes along the river where there are multiple waterfalls. It's all a wonderful setting in this small town set at the end of a gorgeous fjord.

You can already see the eagle turns (ornesvingen) from the Geiranger cruise. It has a lot of turns and has nice view on its view point. It hasn’t much parking lot, so please be quick when you finished taking photos so others also can park their car and enjoy the view.

After a Geirangerfjord cruise you can drive south to reach Flydalajuvet. It has a tiny parking lot, so please be quick when you have taken some nice photos, so others also can park their car and enjoy the view as well. Flydalsjuvet wasn’t far from Geiranger. You can also walk to Flydalsjuvet from the Geiranger center and through the waterfall trail.

The boat tours will take you by all of the waterfalls in this fjord. This one is right across from the 7 Sisters.
