Getting ashore
Geiranger is a small village at the head of the Geirangerfjord, a UNESCO site. Ships berth at the quay or tender passengers ashore. The village is very compact, so the walk is short.
Watch-outs
The village is very busy when several ships call, and buses and coaches fill the road. The mountain roads are steep and winding, and some close in winter.
The fjord
The Geirangerfjord is one of the most scenic fjords in Norway, with steep cliffs and waterfalls. Boat trips run along the fjord in season.
Seven Sisters and the Friaren
The Seven Sisters waterfall is opposite the Friaren peak, and both are best seen from the water or from the viewpoints on the road.
Dalsnibba and the road
The Dalsnibba viewpoint is reached by a steep mountain road, with views over the fjord and the glaciers beyond. The road is narrow, and coaches take the switchbacks slowly.
Food & shopping
Norwegian food includes cured meats, salmon and local goat cheese. Cafés and the hotel dining rooms are the easiest choice.
Money & connectivity
The currency is the Norwegian krone. Cards are accepted almost everywhere. Mobile signal is patchy in the valley.
Accessibility & mobility
The quay and village are mostly flat, but the viewpoints involve steep roads and steps. Ask your operator for accessible coaches with step access.
