The Geirangerfjord - included on UNESCOs World Heritage List!
The Geirangerfjord is one of Norway's most visited tourist sites and has been listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, jointly with Nærøyfjord, 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.
In Geiranger you can take an hour and a half's fjord cruise. A comfortable sightseeing boat takes you out on the fjord, bringing you close to the cascading waterfalls, towering mountains and the abandoned mountain farms.
If you want to see Geiranger from the finest viewpoints, you can drive up to Ørnesvingen, Flydalsjuvet or Dalsnibba (toll road). Or you can walk up to Vesteråsfjellet or Skageflå.
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.
