    It is a special landscape, which you must enjoy if you ever visit Norway! And it is certain that only then will you be able to perceive the greatness of nature, the uniqueness of the landscape, but also the joy of being there and experiencing this spectacle that cannot leave anyone unmoved!

    One of the most beautiful fjords in norway without a doubt. We visited geiranger for 3 days and stayed at a cost cabin. One of the main attractions was to go on a sightseeing cruise which was 90mins. We were able to hopoff from the famous farm and do a quick hike and get back on the next cruise with the same ticket. Plenty of places to visit and we arrived at geirange through trollstigen which was an awesome drive

    Undoubtedly beautiful waterfall (or waterfalls) but due to it being late summer and a lack of rain they were not flowing a great deal. I’m pleased I got to see them as our ship passed, but I’m also pleased I didn’t pay hundreds of pounds to see them.

    We were on a cruise and on that day there were three cruise ships docking

    As a result, there are lots of tourists by the pier. Amazingly I discover the wifi here is quite fast as lots of tourists are sitting on the waterfront doing their usual messaging. This is one of the Photoshop stops for me!!

    The hike to the Hotel Union is a short one approximately 20 minutes along a winding road. There is an alternate way if you take the uneven unpaved road up to a small church with a cemetery nearby, but the view is amazing,!

    You have to look out for oncoming traffic especially big buses, cars bicycles, etc if you decided to walk along the road

    When you reach the Hotel Union there is a walkway across a waterfall. There is another 3.0 km hike further up to another waterfall which we did not take. We took the stairs along the river and realized is a deep decline down to a campground by the waterfront. As a result, we went back to the original route. This is not desirable hiking for patients with knees and mobility problems you have to know your physical limit

    The scenery is beautiful but the serenity is spoiled by the presence of too many tourists

    This is definitely worth a visit if you like a reasonable, but not too difficult, hike to a nice feature. The waterfall is great and you can walk just behind it. From the waterfront at Geiranger you follow the path up to the Flydalsjuvet first (the viewpoint on the snakey road above the town). Don’t turn right on the final high road towards the Utiksikten Hotel/viewpoint but left towards Hole and Westeras Farm. This is about half way. The paths are then well marked towards the Storesetterfossen. Recommended.

    Nice views of Geiranger and surroundings. The viewing point is easily accessible by car as it is right by the road.

    This hike was the highlight of our visit to Geiranger. We took a fjord tour that stopped at Skagefla and hiked up for an hour. The hike back to almost an hour because the trail became wet and muddy and it was very slow going. This is a difficult hike. The views at the top were outstanding and we had a picnic lunch and then hiked back to trail head and waited for the boat. The walk back to Geiranger was an additional 8 km and we did not choose to do that.

    Definitely a great place to visit. You want walk or take a Toor in the center of the town. The landscape are really outstanding and you really can be in touch with the nature.

    I didn't drive so I really enjoyed the views. The road has some very tight turns but the views are worth it. Plenty of places to stop and look out over the fjord.

    We rented a motor boat, so we got pretty close to the falls. They're located opposite the Seven Sister falls (on the other bank of the fjord). This fall doesn't fall off the cliff, but has a rather gradual fall. Definitely worth a photo if you're touring the fjord

    I wasn't able to go into the church but the outside of the church is great with the background of Geiranger. The grounds were nice and kept up.
