The ferry cruise on the world’s most famous fjord takes approx. one hour. Alongside the sheer mountain cliffs and the many waterfalls, you can see evidence of people who have lived and worked here in the form of many abandoned farms and shoreline smallholdings that will no doubt leave a lasting impression. The local legends are many and the history is there for you to see. Some of the farms were inhabited and operative until the 1950s and 60s.
The tour is guided in several languages and there are refreshments available on board. The ferry cruise is ideal for those interested in landscape photography, as we have a spacious deck area outside. One of the ferries, Veøy, has an elevator and is accessible for disabled persons.

The Geirangerfjord is a fjord in the Sunnmøre region of Møre and Romsdal County in western-Norway. It is often referred to as the “jewel in the crown” of the Norwegian fjords, surrounded by a fairytale landscape with majestic, snow-covered mountaintops, wild and beautiful waterfalls, lush green vegetation and the deep, blue fjord itself.
At the end of the fjord is the small tourist village of Geiranger. The area has been listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2005, and it has been named the best travel destination in Scandinavia by Lonely Planet. Several hundred thousand people pass through every summer and the 250 people who live there rely on the tourism industry. The tourist season stretches from May to early September.
The Geirangerfjord is home to several famous waterfalls: Brudesløret (the Bridal Veil) is possibly the most famous waterfall in Norway. It tumbles down into Geirangerfjorden just west of De syv søstrene (the Seven Sisters) waterfall. De syv søstrene is one of the most photographed waterfalls in Geirangerfjorden. As the name implies, it consists of seven waterfalls that thunder down the mountain side, just next to the abandoned farm of Knivsflå. Frieren (the Suitor) waterfall lies across the fjord from De syv søstrene waterfall. It is not particularly high, but divides as it tumbles down the mountainside to bare rock between the two streams, making the entire waterfall resemble a bottle.
The Eagle’s Bend is the name of the steepest stretch of road that runs up the mountainside from Geiranger towards Eidsdal on route 63. The road twists and turns through 11 hairpin bends from the Geirangerfjord up to the highest point, 620 metres above sea level at Korsmyra. Flydalsjuvet offers an impressive view and is a good photo spot for pictures of Geiranger and of Geirangerfjorden.

The next morning, we woke up bright and early (perhaps too early?) to try to see the rest of the sights in the Norangsdalen valley before catching our ferry from Hellesylt to Geiranger.
As it turns out, our eagerness the day before meant that we’d actually covered pretty much the entire valley and had driven just short of arriving at Hellesylt so our drive to catch the ferry was fairly short indeed! (We’d also added a lot of extra time to factor the need to stop for photos so yes, we were very early).
