I am not sure what to compare it to, as I have been to very few ski resorts, but my experience with this is mostly positive. They have a very good selection of lifts and a very good selection of trails in different difficulties. The views are fanatic too. They only thing I feel that could use an improvement, is the café's. Aside from that, everything is great :)

There are 2 parts to this museum. The outdoor collection of old buildings collected from around the area and the quite recent Krone exhibition. The latter has beautifully displayed local history. It might be too Norwegian for some, but the quality of photographs and displays are outstanding.
Paul O — Google review
Delightful little museum. Inside the main building is presented history of Molde and local area. Mostly about fish industry. However, outside is the true gem- real historical buildings transported to this location. The houses were mostly donated with furniture inside and everyday items as they were. The guides were great, do talk with them. 4 stars ⭐️ because the museum is probably the only thing worth visiting around the area and it can’t be compared to the large museums in capital cities.

Gabriele Z — Google review
The cathedral is a double-nave basilica that has a free-standing bell tower next to the main building. The cathedral seats about 1000 people. The church building is shaped like a long "basilica", but with a central aisle and another on the north side, but not on the south side. The entrance consists of two copper-clad doors surrounded by fields in natural concrete under a Gable roof. The square campanile (bell tower) is at the church's southwest corner, and it is approximately 60 metres (200 ft) tall. Behind the church's main entry doors to the west, there is a spacious rectangular foyer which leads into the sanctuary.

A good place to stop for the toilet, check out the bridge at the same time, worth a look and a walk over. There are other bridges like this around, but this is maybe the longest and certainly the most accessible that we saw. The car park is rough ground but easily driven on.

Norway Excursions Olden

Tour operator
Tours
When exploring Norway Excursions Olden, visitors are treated to a breathtaking experience filled with stunning landscapes and memorable adventures. One popular option is the tour to Briksdal Glacier, which includes a scenic 30-minute bus ride through narrow roads led by an expert driver. The friendly guide provides insights while allowing time for independent exploration at the park, where hikers can marvel at glaciers and waterfalls.
Absolutely beautiful place to visit, even in the slightly inclement weather, Loen skylift is a great way to get some views in and a walk up to the Briksdal glacier is another great thing to do whilst there. If you go on Iona cruise ship, the locals give you a great send off when you leave.
Valerie H — Google review
A choice of excursions from buses to the skylift or troll cars, with scenic bus routes and a road train stopping off at various photo opportunity points along the way.... due to weather with low cloud with rain and mist we opted for the toad train, a 50 minute trip stopping off here and there with an interesting commentary pointing out landmarks and points of interest and humorous stories along the way finishing at either the retail outlets or the ship, priced at £26 pp a worthwhile trip catching a glimpse of the glacier. Had the weather been better we would have gone to the sky lift first.
Mike H — Google review
We had a fantastic time on this tour from Olden to the Briksdal Glacier. The tour guide was very friendly, easy to locate at the meeting point, and made sure everyone felt comfortable throughout the trip. We appreciated that we were given plenty of time to enjoy the glacier at our own pace and take in the stunning scenery. The bus was clean and comfortable, and the drive through the beautiful Norwegian countryside was an experience in itself. Our guide shared interesting facts about the area and its history, which really added to the day. We’d definitely recommend this tour to anyone visiting Olden — it’s well organized, stress-free, and a great way to see one of Norway’s natural wonders up close.
Kyle B — Google review
We are currently on a 17-day cruise through Norway, and our second stop was the beautiful village of Olden. We booked an excursion to the Briksdal Glacier through Viator, and it was a wonderful experience from start to finish. As soon as we got off the ship, we were warmly welcomed by guides in bright yellow jackets who made it very easy to find our bus. I want to give a special thank you to our driver, Marius (I hope I am spelling that correctly). He showed such thoughtfulness when he saw our two young daughters and immediately went to get booster seats so they could sit higher and enjoy the views out the window. He was a very safe driver and incredibly kind throughout the trip. Our guide Laura was absolutely excellent. She provided interesting commentary during the bus ride and even offered to join us on the hike to the glacier. She took so many photos for us and made the whole experience even more special. Our seven-year-old daughter completely adored her and just wanted to stay by her side the entire time. Laura was knowledgeable, patient, and incredibly gracious. The hike to the Briksdal Glacier was breathtakingly beautiful. Surrounded by waterfalls, towering cliffs, and lush greenery, the entire walk felt like something out of a fairytale. The glacier itself was absolutely stunning and so much fun to explore. Our little girls had the best time running around, skipping along the path, and taking in all the natural beauty. On the way back from the glacier, we stopped at a beautiful lake for about 10 minutes to take photos. It was the perfect spot to pause and enjoy the scenery one more time before heading back. This was a truly special day and one of the highlights of our trip so far. Highly recommend this tour if you are visiting Olden.
Foodieextreme F — Google review
My wife and I took the Briksdal Glacier tour in Olden on one of our cruise stops through Viator, and it was an incredible experience. Our tour guide did a fantastic job providing background and interesting facts about Olden as we made our way to the trailhead for Briksdal Glacier. The hike itself takes about an hour, give or take 15 minutes depending on your pace. There are a few stretches that give your legs/calves a workout, but the effort is absolutely worth it. Along the way, you’ll pass a stunning waterfall that’s both powerful and refreshing, expect to get a misted as you walk by! Once you hit the waterfall, you’re about halfway there or a little more. At the top, you’re rewarded with breathtaking views of the glacier spilling into a crystal-clear aqua blue lake filled with floating ice. The 360-degree scenery throughout the hike is simply picturesque, it’s hard not to stop every few steps to take photos or videos. If you enjoy hiking and are physically able, I highly recommend doing the walk. For those who prefer a less strenuous option, there are “troll cars” available that can drive most of the way up. Our guide also made a photo stop at Olden Lake, which offered a spectacular view of the glacier in the background, a nice bonus. This was truly a memorable trip, and I would highly recommend it to anyone cruising to or visiting the area!

We booked the tour to the Briksdal glacier. The bus driver was amazing at navigating the short 30 min trip to the park on narrow roads. Our tour guide was friendly and informative and let us explore on our own once we got to the park. The hike to the glacier and waterfalls was wonderful. The scenery is amazing. On the way back, we stopped by Olden lake for a few more pictures. An excellent tour for anyone cruising into Olden.

Nestled in a picturesque field surrounded by majestic mountains, Olden Old Church is a charming wooden structure that captures the essence of Norway's natural beauty. Its striking red exterior and quaint steeple make it an ideal spot for photography enthusiasts. Just a short stroll from the town center, this delightful church offers stunning 360-degree views of the fjords and serene landscapes. Inside, visitors can admire unique pews with locking doors while outside, benches provide perfect spots to soak in the breathtaking scenery.
Cute little wooden church! We walked inside and the pews were in testy ing because they had doors that locked on them. Oustide the views were stunning and there were benches you could sit on. The cemetery was nice as well.
McKenzie — Google review
A charming and beautifully preserved wooden church dating back to 1759—stepping inside feels like stepping back in time. The Old Olden Church is full of history and character, with its timber walls, traditional pews, and simple yet graceful design. Surrounded by a peaceful graveyard and dramatic mountain views, it's a serene spot that invites quiet reflection. It’s usually open during the summer for visitors, and local volunteers are sometimes on hand to share its fascinating story. A must-visit if you’re in Olden and interested in Norway’s cultural heritage.

This charming Church dates back to 1759! It's no longer an active Parish, but you're of course very welcome to still worship there, and it's really quite somewhere to do so. The Church is quite secluded and it feels rather surreal when you step inside, almost abandoned, like you've discovered something untouched for years and being so remote, it's so peaceful 😌

Rich A — Google review
WE ARRIVED ON A CRUISE SHIP AND BOOKED THROUGH AN INDEPENDENT COMPANY We booked through a company independent from our cruise ship for the shuttle ride to Loen Skylift, which was more economical than the cruise ship excursion price. It was an 'all day' ticket, so you could come and go at times you pleased, which was an advantage so you could gage the weather. LARGE GONDOLA When you arrive, you go up some stairs elevator and then present your ticket to enter the 'loading zone' to await the cable car. ("Skylift"). The cabin fits about 35 people, so be ready to be shoulder to shoulder. TERRACE, RESTAURANT, GIFT SHOP AND TRAILS Once up the top, there is a terrace roof with views over the fjord where we took several photos. There's also a lower terrace, (where we saw a lone sheep), a gift shop, restaurant and trails. We could see our cruise ship docked below. RECOMMEND NOT GOING FIRST THING IN THE DAY We were lucky to have *decent* weather in August 2025, but it was windy and cold enough for 4 layers of clothing, gloves and a hat. Fortunately, it was somewhat sunny, allowing for teal fjord waters in our photos. (See my photos). I wouldn't recommend going first thing in the morning as we noticed it seemed to take some time in most of our Norwegian ports for the weather to clear. (We were up the skylift around midday). PRICEY RESTAURANT We had some soup and hot drinks at the restaurant while we were up there to make it more of an experience. The restaurant is beautifully decorated with great views, but expensive. Staff are not Norwegian and the host was a bit gruff and said we could only have an hour to dine since we didn't have a reservation. (That was enough). They offered free WiFi, which is always a bonus when you're visiting from a cruise ship. WE WANDERED THE TRAILS FOR A SHORT TIME We wandered a trail for a short time (10 mins?) up to some stone stacks and came back down. It was a little uncomfortably windy and cold to do more and we didn't really know where we were going regarding taking the trails further. We could see zip-liners in the distance which looked fun. The toilets/WCs were clean and busy with tourists. They could have done with a hook on the door. The gift store had quality items. WE SPENT ABOUT 2 HRS AT THE TOP, INCLUDING LUNCH Including eating lunch at the restaurant, we spent about 2 hours at the Loen Skylift from start to finish. (Allow about an another hour to include transportation to and from the skylift from the cruise dock). THE MAIN ATTRACTION Other than walking in the town to see a few churches, a waterfall and shops, this seemed to be the main activity near the port of Olden, so I recommend it.

We had the most amazing and picturesque visit during our cruise stop. I’d advise to try and visit in the morning, when there’s more chance of mist and fog around as that adds to the scenery. It’s a great place to visit with the family and its wheelchair and pushchair accessible. There’s a nice cafe at the top along with a souvenir shop and cake / bakery stand. This is a must visit if you’ve never been.

The Via Ferrata in Loen with Loen Active AS was the highlight of my trip! Was luck with perfect weather in May, and our guide Michaela was outstanding—so calm, confident, and incredibly encouraging.

The route itself was breathtaking and beautifully organized. One tip: make sure to book the shoe and glove rental—it’s optional when booking, but absolutely essential. Regular hiking shoes just won’t cut it. An unforgettable experience!

Did the Via Ferrata guided tour. Great guides who get you to go out of your way your comfort zone with their enthusiasm. Good quality rental equipment.

Highly recommend the Via Ferrata here! While I used my Lowa Renegade hiking boots (and I made it work), I'd definitely recommend getting some hiking shoes that can provide a little better grip - either buying some or renting the ones Loen Active AS offers. We were extremely lucky with the beautiful weather we had for our day and our guide, Tilde, was amazing!!! She made our trip so fun!!

Our via Ferrara experience was absolutely amazing. Our guide was very helpful and helped out where any of us needed, and also encouraged us to try harder options if we felt up to it. The views along the way are unbelievable. This was my favorite experience in Norway.

Thanks Jonas. What great service and a fabulous quiet place to paddleboard. We were docked in nearby Olden on our cruise, made the trip up the worlds steepest cable car the Loen Skylift (don’t miss it the views were immense). Then we come down find this hire company. 10 minute walk and in15 mins I’m on the water with wetsuit, boots, gloves, safety vest. Honestly all alone out on the water was beautiful thanks to these guys.

It was definitely a highlight of my Norway trip! I did a Romsdalseggen hike for 10 hours the day before and felt exhausted. I didn’t know what to expect at Loen ferrata and got really anxious and unsure if I was able to compete the climb. I’m so thankful I booked a guide for this experience. Tilda was very professional, patiently stayed with me and helped with a rope through the difficult parts. We also had a great conversation, inspiring to keep going! In the end was one of the most beautiful experiences! Thank you Tilda and Loen Active team! 🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻

We were initially intimidated by the 10km of narrow roads leading from the "highway" to the small church, but it TOTALLY paid off: the site of the 2 churches and old cemetery is like out of a magic movie - surprised it hasn't been used as such yet.

Classic Stave church. Originally c1000 but rebuilt in 1300 and then after a storm in 1600. 4 stakes main timber frame with nonmetal nails. Viking style ‘upside down’ boat.

Seven Sisters Waterfall

Mentioned on 
2 lists 
Waterfall
Nature & Parks
Seven Sisters Waterfall is a stunning natural wonder located in different parts of the world. One such waterfall can be found on the way to Lachung from Gangtok, in North Sikkim. The waterfall consists of seven separate streams cascading around 250 meters into the Geirangerfjord, creating an awe-inspiring sight. Visitors are captivated by the beauty and tranquility of this natural attraction.
Geiranger is deservedly a UNESCO world heritage site. We took the 3 hr Panorama tour bus and money well spent. Things to know: -bring snacks and something to drink as nothing is available during the bus tour; - at the bathroom breaks go quickly to the BR as there are only two stalls for ladies; - if you go during the late fall (end of Sept-begin of October) be prepared with layers as it can be warm in the valley and wintery in the mountain. Beautiful place to visit!
Maria V — Google review
Awesome experience to see it from the kayak :)
Daniel B — Google review
The waterfalls were gorgeous (as all waterfalls are). They are a little tricky to find as you have to either ride a boat, or hike, or we also saw a few people kayaking. We didn't have time to take the hike or kayak so we opted to view the falls as we were on the ferry to our next location. If you are going to travel by ferry in Geirangerfjord, I would recommend taking this approach to seeing the falls.
Sarah B — Google review
The Seven Sisters in Norway is an absolutely stunning place — a true paradise for anyone wh The towering waterfalls, dramatic cliffs, and peaceful fjord scenery create a breathtaking expe start to finish. It's one of those rare destinations where you can simply stand still and feel surn beauty. A must-visit for nature lovers and adventurers alike.
Massih M — Google review
Stunning. It is hard to believe the Seven Sisters is only the 39th tallest waterfall in Norway at 410-meters (1,345 feet)! The tallest of the seven has a free fall that measures 250 meters (820 feet). The waterfall is located along the #geirangerfjord which has more waterfalls than we could count.

Breathtaking views!! I went in Late September and being on the water, it was a little chilly - warm clothes are recommended!
Melody H — Google review
The Seven Sisters is an interesting feature but not an exceptional one in this most beautiful environment. They're part of this majestic fjord and, really, you find quite a few more impressive spots. I guess they are most spectacular at certain times of the year, maybe in May/June, when the snow is melting and thus feed the waterfalls with a greater volume of water.

Geirangerfjord

Fjord

Geologic Formations
Geirangerfjord is a must-visit destination in Norway, offering breathtaking views of snowy mountain peaks, lush vegetation, and cascading waterfalls. It is accessible via the Trollstigen, one of the National Tourist Routes. A visit to this UNESCO World Heritage site promises an exhilarating experience with its deep blue waters and steep cliffs adorned with thundering waterfalls.
Can’t rate it less than five stars despite the number of tourists. The boat ride is recommended as the best way to see both the cascades and fjord, as well as the various hiking trails nearby to get different angles of the fjord and meet some friendly llamas on the way.
Ana C — Google review
This place is stunningly beautiful. The boat cruise around the fjord was so awesome. Vistas of majestic snow-peaked mountains with cascades falling off the cliffs appeared before us. I could see that all the tourists were awe struck by this magnificent sight. Norway is famous for her fjords and rightly so. I recommend strongly a tour of Norway for those who love scenery.
Andrew Y — Google review
Breathtaking views. Amazing people. Exciting tours by car/bus or boat. Is a small place, but a beautiful nature wonder. We took a tour with the bus to the skywalk in Dalsnibba at 1500m. There is a suvenir shop, toilets and you can buy food as well. We took a tour with the bus on the Eagles road as well and is a stop to take pictures of the 7 Sisters waterfalls. The place is crowded, but it does really matter because you forget about everything when you get a glimpse of the amazing landscape.

this fjord is an UNESCO WORLD HERITAGE SITE and its very beautiful. the only drawback about this place is that it is always crowded and there are always lots of cruises in the area. i would recommend you to stay in this beautiful town to actually enjoy the beauty of this fjord. And do not do the fjord cruise, instead do RIB ride which is more thrilling and exciting !!
Ankur K — Google review
One of the nicest Fjords, it's worth starting the day early to take a breath of this beautiful country. I would recommend to come first with a cruise ship to get a first impression and then later on by car on a individual itinerary, to get a much deeper look into the history of Gairanger and the other Fjords. Keep in mind hat Norway is an expensive country but worth it to see once in a lifetime.
Dominic C — Google review
It is an enjoyable cruise and amazing view of the Geirqnger Fjord, Seven Sisters and surrounding mountains. We were told that it is remarkable that there is still a lot of snow in the mountains. It is very breezy and please wear warm clothing even its Spring time (visited on 14th May 2023, Sunday). Another Fjord that you should not miss it.

⸻ Beautiful e-bike and hiking tour with incredible scenery! We explored Norway’s fjords, waterfalls, and wildflower-filled trails — truly stunning views around every corner. There is a very long uphill section, but the e-bike assist made it totally doable and even fun. The short hike was peaceful, and we loved the local snack and fresh juice. They’re still working out a few kinks, but it was well worth the effort to get there. Highly recommend for nature lovers!

If you’re dreaming of an adventure in Norway, stop searching: Uteguiden is the team you want. With Erlend, Oscar and their crew, we discovered Valldal’s raw beauty through canyoning, trail running and hiking. Every detail was prepared with such passion and professionalism that it blew beyond our expectations. They don’t just guide; they craft experiences that connect you to nature in a way you’ll never forget. For us and our group of 30, it was nothing short of the adventure of a lifetime. I wouldn’t recommend anyone else. Book Uteguiden: you’ll thank yourself forever.

We did a family rafting. Most of us did rafting the first time ever. We enjoyed it immensely. Our guides V and Martin were amazing. Dead jokes were their superpower. After having the best time rafting we warmed up at a fire place and were given hot drinks and something sweet to eat which was a Norwegian sweet. Totally recommend this!

We had an incredible fjord kayak paddle with Uteguiden last week. We were fortunate enough to have Marcin as our tour guide and we couldn't have asked for a more down to earth, engaging tour guide. It was apparent very early on that Marcin loves doing what he does and wants to share the beauties of his adopted homeland with visitors. The scenery on the tour was stunning and the midway lunch stop was delightful and well appointed. I'd absolutely recommend this trip to anyone, especially if you can get a tour with Marcin (who also does rafting and canyoning from what I'm told).

We had an amazing kayaking tour with Kim — truly one of the highlights of our trip! Kim was incredibly warm, kind, and knowledgeable, and made us feel completely at ease from the moment we arrived. Her passion for the landscape, the water, and local stories really brought the experience to life. The scenery was breathtaking, and Kim struck the perfect balance between giving us space to enjoy it and sharing insights that made the tour even more meaningful. We felt safe, inspired, and completely in awe of the surroundings.

Viewing platform offering picturesque views of the fjord & its steep hillsides, plus a waterfall.
Fabulous view from an elevated point. Area is well situated for visitors where they can see and enjoy the nature and the river below and surrounding villages around the river. There’s a small area for cars parking on the main road and at the time we arrived was too crowded with buses and cars. Worth the stop by and enjoyment.

Absolutely breathtaking! One of the most stunning fjord views I’ve ever experienced. The contrast between the deep blue water, steep mountain cliffs, and cascading waterfalls like the Seven Sisters is unforgettable. Whether you’re seeing it from a viewpoint above or from a boat in the fjord, it’s pure magic. A must-visit spot in Norway

Ørnesvingen Viewpoint: where views go wild! After ascending Ørnevegen's eleven thrilling hairpin bends from Geiranger, you'll reach the Ørnesvingen viewpoint – and trust me, it's worth every turn! Parking can be a fun challenge (make your inner Tetris addict proud!), but the spectacular view awaiting you is the real prize. Prepare to be dazzled by the stunning Geirangerfjord with its steep mountainsides, the iconic “Seven Sisters” waterfalls, and the tiny Knivsflå mountain hamlet. If you're lucky, you'll even spot a cruise ship maneuvering, looking incredibly small from up here. For even more panoramas, take a short walk up the trail – it helps you to get closer to the waterfalls. And yes, there might be a crowd, but just ignore them; the views here are truly breathtaking! Plus, there's even a natural shower close by, next to the road, if you're feeling extra adventurous or want to trick a friend or family member in taking an extra refreshing photo... In a nutshell, this viewpoint is a definite must-stop!

Absolutely wonderful! However, be cautious as there are some irate locals who tend to shout aggressively at anyone and threaten to call the police over something as minor as a car being parked just one centimetre over the designated parking line.

Skåla, Norway's highest mountain located in Jostedalsbreen National Park, offers a challenging yet rewarding hiking experience. Rising 1,848 meters above the stunning Lake Lovatnet, the ascent involves a demanding climb with breathtaking views of glaciers, fjords, and mountains. The hike leads to Skalatarnet round cabin at the summit, which was built in 1891 and has become an iconic symbol of Skåla.
A beautiful mountain walk 1843 altitude. With good help from the Shjerpa people, the route is very nice. Calculate approximately 8 hours round trip. 22 beds at the top, as well as a couple of tent seats. An experience👍 photo: @engelsen

Loved this hike to the summit of Skala yesterday. Its a tough continuous uphill hike as you would expect going from near sea level to 1848 metres. Paths are good and well marked even the last few hundred metres in the snow are well indicated with the stone cairns. Amazing views but for me very cloudy at the top. Its great there is the tower and new shelter at the top that many people book to stay the night. There are a few drinking water streams up till about 1600 metres. You have to be in good fit shape to make it to the top and with warm gloves and kit etc. I hiked on my own and made it to the top in 3 hours 40 mins with half hour stop round trip was 6 hours 50 mins. Loved it.

We spent a whole day here last week. Eventhough it was more toen 25 degrees our kids 13, 11, 9 years old could not stop climbing and zipline=ing. There where obstacles in all levels so all ages had fun. We as parent as well. We even saw another Family with a 5 and 2 year old in a harnas. Good values for money. I can recomend it to everybody. And would go back if we are in the neighborhood.

A lot of fun for the entire family. They have something for kids (if they can walk they can do it with some help), for non trained adults and even for climbers/trained adults. They do not sell much food, only hotdogs, but there are grills and tables/benches so it is recommended to bring your own food. There are only two toilets and not much parking. On a sunny day you need to order a ticket online before 10am because they have a limit on about 150 people and it does fill up. It is anyway recommended to do that because it is cheaper.

We had the most amazing time!! My 11 year old and 6 year old both had so much fun and we were there from opening to closing. Tip: bring extra socks if your kids want to do the bouncy house/jumping activites as some of the surfaces are still covered with dew in the morning! But my kids didn't care! The staff was so friendly and helpful too. An experience we will never forget!

Four level of difficulties. It is good for couple of hours to half day trip where you can bring your own food and cook. You can also visit near by strawberry farms and buy fresh delicious strawberry. The place is great. I gave the place 4 stars for two reasons: 1. There are two toilets that are shared, and located at the entrance of the park. 2. Food are limited to snacks, coffee and Ice cream.
Khalil A — Google review
A great place to spend time with friends and/or family, from young to old. Activities involve, climbing, zip-lining, jumping, dangeling, all in safety of straps and hooks connected to a safety line which goes trough all courses. There are activities on the ground for people less prone to hights. Obstical course, inflated billow to jump on, bow and arrow. Tables have been scattered around a small hutt who can provide cover for the sun or rain. In front of the hutt there is s grill that can be used by anyone. I found three downsides: Prizes goes by hight, so everyone over 140cm will pay full prize. It can get pretty crowded, and wating on a platform in a tree can become a reality. They don't open the park before 11:00 (am).

Very nice place for a sunny day. One issue that kept happening is that the kids did not gain enough speed (or simply are too lightweight) to reach the end of the zip lines and got stuck in the middle, the crew came assisting every time. This happened too many times!! . But all in all- we had a very good time.

Fossevandring Geiranger

Mentioned on 
6 lists 
Sights & Landmarks
Points of Interest & Landmarks
Fossevandring Geiranger is a leisurely 10-minute walk from the small town's port, making it easily accessible for visitors who prefer not to take an excursion. The metal and concrete trail runs along the river, offering several viewpoints and well-maintained paths. It takes about 30 minutes to descend from the museum to the fjord and around an hour to ascend.
This waterfall can be reached on foot from the centre of Geiranger with a quite easy uphill walk, that takes about 15 minutes. Once there you can enjoy a very nice view on the fjord and then descend along the waterfall on a boardwalk made of 327 steps.

Cezar A — Google review
Numerous reviewers have already described Geiranger's wonderful waterfall walk in some detail. I’ll just add (or repeat) a few bits of info along with photos. 1. We avoided summer (mid-July) crowds by doing the walk in the evening -- after 8pm when parking is free but still daytime brightness. As the photos show, we saw only a dozen or so other visitors over the hour we spent enjoying this walk. 2. To get to the waterfall walk from Joker, head to the campervan park and turn left along the paved road (Homlungsvegen), then stay left onto the wide gravel path next to the rapids. You soon pass the picturesque concrete building beside the rapids; the metal stairway begins soon after. 3. Parts of the walk hug the rapids and falls, so visitors might get sprayed with water. 4. We started from the waterfront (not Fjord centre), applying the old rule that hikes are more fun when they begin going up, then return going down. The walk isn't strenuous, but climbing 327 steps up does require some effort. 5. We visited the fjord centre the next day as a separate event. That made the waterfall walk more leisurely and gave us ample time the next day to enjoy the fjord centre and the nearby short woods walks. 6. Return by the same waterfall walk, unless it is crammed with visitors. The main Geiranger road is narrow, busy, and doesn't have a footpath. (I drove up and down it several times.)
Steve M — Google review
This is a simple walk right on the edge of town that just gets better and better the higher up you go. The walk begins at the camping area just beyond the small supermarket and the first falls can be seen from a relatively easy, and flat path. After that you take a series of staircases up to each new set of cascades, and as you climb higher the falls gets better, as does the view back over the village to the fjord. The final cascade is the smallest, and from here you can head up to the hotel and cafe, or turn around and head straight back down, enjoying the great views of the fjord.
Stephen S — Google review
Extremely beautiful and scenic trail. If you go up the stairs you will get the most beautiful views. We went up the stairs taking pictures along the way. Be prepared to get a lot of cold water mist. Afterwards you can walk down on the road and stop at the church for spectacular views of town. There is also a short cut from the end of the church plot.

Absolutely, Kimberly! Here’s a mid-length review of Fossevandring, the waterfall walk in Geiranger—perfect for a travel journal or social media post: --- 💦 Fossevandring – Nature’s Staircase in Geiranger Fossevandring is a stunning waterfall walk that blends wild Norwegian nature with sleek, modern architecture. The trail follows the powerful Storfossen waterfall via a series of metal staircases and platforms, offering dramatic views and the soothing roar of cascading water. It’s an easy-to-moderate hike, taking about 20–30 minutes depending on your pace, and is accessible from the town center or the Norwegian Fjord Centre. What makes it special? You’re not just walking beside a waterfall—you’re practically in it. The spray kisses your skin, and the see-through grating underfoot adds a thrilling touch. Along the way, you’ll find photo-worthy viewpoints, benches for reflection, and even nighttime lighting for a romantic stroll. Whether you’re arriving by cruise or staying nearby, Fossevandring is a must-do experience that captures the essence of Geiranger’s natural beauty.
Kimberly H — Google review
Lovely spot to visit, a short walk from the centre of Geiranger, there are stairs taking you up directly adjacent to the waterfall, you cam either come back down the same way, or alternatively take the road route (and stop at the church on the way for more photo opportunities).

We enjoyed the walking trail and the water fall. The light breeze and water vapor from the water fall was a good refreshing while walking up to the highest point of the water fall. This is an easy trail, and it's takes around 25 minutes to complete. You could view the bay from the highest point Don't miss it while you are in Geiranger.

A comfortable center where you can find a lot of information about history of the area and the Norwegian people living there. A disadvantage of the place is that you can't take any pictures of the exposition. So all is kept in your memories. It's not bad, it's just the approach that the center goes by. If you really want to see everything, reserve about 2 hours of your time. The tickets can only be bough online, so don't count with any cash desk at the center. At the same time, nobody was checking them. There is a café and souvenir shop right at the entrance with some local products.
Jana K — Google review
The Norwegian Fjord Centre is a visual and experiential delight. Very professional displays with replication of old buildings, shops, early mountain road, even an old docked ship rolling back and forth. These constructions were very effectively embedded with their surroundings with the aid of wall-sized photos and paintings. The video describing the fjord's geological history was informative and visually engaging. Not to be missed are the many stories about fjord life, such as the farm where some of the best ale was brewed, the massive landslide that took many lives in an isolated community a century ago, and how some mountain farmers kept the taxman away. Every turn brought a different aspect of fjord life, from mountainside farming to deadly landslides (including a map showing all of the major avalanche catastrophes!). We took much more than an hour to walk through the museum, and could have taken longer to enjoy more of the artifacts, photos, and videos. And although visiting in early afternoon in July, for some reason it wasn't busy. We enjoyed a mid-day meal at the Fjord Centre cafe on two days (our accommodation was a short walk from there). We visited in late July 2025.

Scenic spot

Flydalsjuvet is a captivating viewpoint located just behind the village of Geiranger in Norway. It offers a breathtaking panoramic view of the iconic Geirangerfjord and the surrounding mountains. The well-designed viewing platforms ensure safety while providing an immersive experience. Although parking is limited, it's worth visiting for the stunning scenery and clean, free toilets available. Accessible via Route 63, this spot is perfect for summer visits to enjoy the mesmerizing nature and hiking opportunities.
This was such a beautiful spot in Norway. It's a small town. There's definitely lots to see. We did the bus tour, so we got to more the area. We stopped on top of the hill, and was able to take lots of good pictures. There's a few cool shops, small dining spots, and more. If I ever get to come back here, I would love to explore more :)

The original settlement before tourists arrived would have been simply gorgeous. If would have been a fishing village. Now, cruise ships arrive and bus loads of tourists arrive daily. There is not much to do in the village itself except maybe go fishing or visit the local supermarket. Lots of nice hiking trails to scenic waterfalls from the center of the village and one can even visit some of the places mentioned in the movie TROLL by taking a 3 hour bus ride.

We had an incredible day hiking and exploring Flydalsjuvet in Geiranger, Norway! The viewpoint is absolutely breathtaking, with panoramic views of the Geirangerfjord, snow-capped mountains, and lush greenery that feel straight out of a postcard. The trails were well-marked and offered a perfect mix of challenge and accessibility, letting us soak in the stunning fjord scenery at every turn. We loved the iconic Fjordsetet (Queen’s Chair) for those unforgettable photo ops! The area’s peaceful vibe and dramatic cliffs made it a highlight of our trip. Highly recommend Flydalsjuvet for anyone looking to immerse themselves in Norway’s natural beauty!

From here you get a great view straight back down the fjord. There’s a small amount of parking, very good toilets, and a series of spots to take pictures. You can walk up here from town, but best to drive or take the shuttle.

Nestled along the scenic Road 63, Gudbrandsjuvet is a breathtaking gorge that captivates visitors with its stunning views and powerful waterfall. Just 15 kilometers from Valldal, this natural wonder features a deep ravine where the river rushes through narrow passages, creating an awe-inspiring sight. The dry stone bridge built in the 1920s adds historical charm to the landscape while providing access to various viewpoints.
Don’t skip this stop! We almost drove right by but I’m glad we didn’t. It’s a beautiful spot with scenic views and a powerful and unique waterfall. It’s well worth your time. There are bathrooms, a cafe, and a small gift shop.

Dalsnibba Viewpoint

Scenic spot
Sights & Landmarks
Dalsnibba Utsiktspunkt is a must-visit destination for anyone seeking breathtaking vistas of Norway's stunning landscapes. Perched high above, it boasts the Geiranger Skywalk, which offers the highest fjord view accessible by road. The journey to this viewpoint can be thrilling, especially for those with a fear of heights! Once you reach the top, you're greeted by awe-inspiring panoramas of snow-capped mountains and dramatic fjords that will leave you speechless.
Amazing viewpoint. Felt like a bird's view while watching from the view point. There is this amazing feeling that brings calm but may also make some people scared. Surely not suitable for people with fear of heights.
Anjhana K — Google review
Easy place to miss if you do not know about it and you are rushing to the Geiranger itself... as I did two times already. It is a toll road with crazy hairpin turns next to the steep cliffs, so it might get bit scary if you are driving really close to the edge of the road. But the views... along the whole way up to the top and then the view on Geiranger itself, speechless and definitely worth a visit and worth every krone. We spend two hours there just watching and enjoying the views. And it is possible to get there with your caravan and spend a night there for bit more krone and enjoy the sunset and sunrise.
Milan P — Google review
Dalsnibba — what a view! You need to pay a small ticket fee to drive up, but once you reach the top, it’s worth every krone. I really enjoyed the view and the drive itself.

Well…. What more can I tell? It was breathtaking view! Everyone born in Norway has to visit once in their lifetime! Because the visit will make you understand why Norway is so proud of their fjord! Also making you proud to be a Norwegian no matter what’s your background as long you’re born in Norway.

My visit to the Dalsnibba Viewpoint was truly a remarkable experience and easily one of the most memorable moments of my trip through Norway. The panoramic views from the top were absolutely stunning—so vast and dramatic that it almost felt surreal. From this elevated vantage point, you can see deep into the Geirangerfjord valley and across rugged, snow-capped peaks, offering a perspective that captures the sheer majesty of Norway’s natural landscape. One of the most unique and surprising parts of the visit was getting to experience snow in the middle of summer. Being able to touch fresh snow and even witness a gentle snowfall while surrounded by greenery below was an unexpected and magical contrast. The gift shop and café at the summit were a welcome surprise as well. I had the chance to try one of their Finnomin rolls, and it was excellent—fresh, flavorful, and perfect with a hot drink while enjoying the chilly mountain air. Dalsnibba combines the thrill of high-altitude views with a touch of cozy hospitality, making it a must-visit for anyone exploring the region. It’s a place where you can truly feel on top of the world.

Kjenndalsbreen

Mentioned on

Glacier

Geologic Formations
Embarking on a journey to Kjenndalsbreen is an experience that promises breathtaking views and serene landscapes. Nestled at the head of the picturesque Kjenndalen Valley, this glacier serves as the lowest offshoot of Jostedalsbreen, which is renowned as mainland Europe's largest glacier. The drive along Lovatnet offers not just stunning scenery but also leads you to a convenient parking area where a short and easy hike awaits—perfect for adventurers of all ages.
This threw me a little bit off balance. It is remarkable that it exists. You have to go to the antarctic to see things like that. I still have water from the glacier for my very old whisky as after all the water dozens of thousands years old deserves suitable company. Directions available on the web
Leszek A — Google review
To get to the glacier, you have to earn it. First there is a small road, about 25 minutes driving, alongside the mountain, not wide enough for 2 cars. After that you get to a smaller road, where you have to pay toll. This is 50 crowns, in cash, which you deposit in a box. Shortly after that you arrive at a restaurant at the water: Kjenndalstova. Here you have a great view across the water. From here it's a short drive up the mountain until the parking. Next up: hiking. There is about 1.5 kilometers worth of path, stone and bushes to traverse. Then, and only then are you close to the breen 😉 Take a good look around, the view is amazing.

(Translated by Google) The glacier, or the remaining remains of the glacier, as well as the waterfalls here and around the glacier, are very beautiful and worth seeing. You can drive to a well-developed parking lot, which is equipped with several tables and chairs, just before the glacier. This is also very nice for me as a disabled person. The journey through a beautiful valley along a lake is also very scenic for the last 20 km, which is a narrow single track road with alternate bays. When motorhomes or large tourist buses come along here, things get exciting. In my opinion, it is unfortunately quite a rip-off that you have to pay a toll of 70 kr for the last 4 km under threat of a 1000 kr fine for a car and then the last 2 km of the road are unpaved and have lots of potholes. You either have to have appropriately counted change ready and throw it into a box, or you have to mess around with one of the countless different toll apps. This is excessive and annoying, especially since there is no internet reception in this area. (Original) Der Gletscher, beziehungsweise die verbliebenen Reste von dem Gletscher, so wie die Wasserfälle hier und um den Gletscher herum, sind sehr schön und sehenswert. Man kann bis auf einen gut ausgebauten Parkplatz, welcher mit etlichen Tischen und Stühlen ausgestattet ist, bis kurz vor den Gletscher fahren. Das ist auch für mich als Gehbehinderter sehr schön. Die Anfahrt durch ein schönes Tal an einem See entlang ist die letzten 20 km landschaftlich auch sehr schön, wobei es sich um eine schmale Single Track Road mit Ausweichbuchten handelt. Wenn hier Wohnmobile oder die großen Touristen Reisebusse entgegenkommen, wird es teilweise spannend. In meinen Augen ist es leider eine ziemliche Abzocke, dass man für die letzten 4 km unter Androhung von 1000 Kronen Strafe für einen PKW 70 Kronen Maut bezahlen muss und dann die letzten 2 km Weg unbefestigt und mit vielen Schlaglöchern versehen sind. Man muss entweder ein entsprechend abgezähltes Kleingeld parat haben und in eine Kiste werfen, oder sich mit einer der unzähligen verschiedenen Maut Apps herumplagen. Das ist überzogen und lästig, zumal man in diesem Bereich keinen Internet Empfang hat.

(Translated by Google) The road there alone is magical! You drive past Lake Lovatnet, pay a NOK 100 toll to the glacier, and then walk there from the parking lot in 10 minutes. It's truly beautiful. There's also a restaurant along the way where you can relax and enjoy a meal. (Original) Alleen al de weg hiernaar toe is magisch! Je rijdt langs het Lovatnetmeer, betaalt 100 NOK tol om naar de gletsjer te gaan en wandelt er van op de parking in 10 min naar toe. Heel mooi om te zien. Er ligt ook een restaurant op de route waar je even heerlijk kan vertoeven.

(Translated by Google) Beautiful glacier. Although unfortunately there isn't much left of it. The approach can be a bit strenuous, depending on the traffic. We were there early in the morning and had the entire glacier to ourselves. Be sure to continue over the wooden bridge. Then you can park quite close to the glacier. We didn't know this, so we parked in front of the bridge and then had quite a bit of walking to do. As with (almost) everywhere, there's a parking fee. But it's still worth it. (Original) Wunderschöner Gletscher. Auch wenn leider nicht mehr viel davon übrig ist. Die Anfahrt kann etwas anstrengend sein, je nach dem, wieviel Verkehr unterwegs ist. Wir waren früh morgens da und hatten den ganzen Gletscher für uns alleine. Unbedingt noch über die Holzbrücke weiter fahren. Dann kann man recht nah am Gletscher parken. Wie wussten es nicht und haben vor der Brücke geparkt und hatten dann ein gutes Stück zu gehen. Wie (fast) überall Parkgebühr. Lohnt sich aber trotzdem.

(Translated by Google) Beautiful glacier. There's parking available within 300 meters of the viewpoint. Go early in the morning or evening, as buses arrive along the narrow road from 10 a.m., which can significantly slow traffic. (Original) Prachtige gletsjer. Er is parking voor de auto voorzien tot op 300m van het uitzichtpunt. Ga vroeg in de morgen of ‘s avonds want vanaf 10 u komen er bussen langs de smalle weg die het verkeer erg kunnen belemmeren.

(Translated by Google) Incredible scenery! The road is toll-free and not easy, but it's worth the detour! At the end of the road, a very short walk through the forest and there... the magical spectacle of this glacier! If you wish, you can sleep nearby in a van, tent, or camper van. It's magical!!! (Original) Paysage incroyable ! Route payante et pas évidente mais vaut le détour ! Au bout de la route une toute petite marche dans la forêt et là… le spectacle magique de ce glacier ! Possibilité si vous le souhaitez de dormir aux alentours en van, tente, CC. C est magique !!!

The most beautiful autumn scenery I’ve ever seen. We drove here end of September (I assume as soon as the first snow fall starts the road isn’t drivable anymore). Honestly no words to describe this beautiful place on earth! Please keep it that way! Unfortunately we picked up some cigarette buds laying on the floor…

A must do! This road gave us some of the best views of our entire trip! It's essentially a dirt road winding through a valley along a river with stunning views. It is a dirt road and slower going, so allot about an hour for it, but the road is in good condition and we managed just fine in a two wheel drive sedan during the fall time.

This is a fantastic route to reach Stryn. On top of the mountain you can see a wild nature, the road is a bit narrow and old so you can't drive more than 10kmph. Mobile signals drop there so don't drive in the late evening or at night.

(Translated by Google) We took this route to Stryn because the guidebook recommended it as being very scenic. And they didn't overpromise. What awaited us here was truly magical: Waterfalls, turquoise water, all shades of green and gray, and majestic mountains. The route itself is a bit adventurous at times, but since we were traveling by car, the route was manageable. It was an absolute highlight of our trip. (Original) Wir haben diesen Weg nach Stryn genommen, weil er uns im Reiseführer als landschaftlich sehr schön empfohlen wurde. Und es wurde nicht zuviel versprochen. Was uns hier erwartet hat, ist wirklich magisch. Wasserfälle, türkisblaues Wasser, alle Töne von Grün und Grau und majestätische Berge. Der Weg selbst ist manchmal etwas abenteuerlich, aber da wir mit einem Auto unterwegs waren, war die Strecke gut zu meistern. Absolutes Highlight unserer Reise.
