Situated in the port town of Ålesund is the popular Geirangerfjord, known as one of the most attractive fjords in the world. It has been included in the UNESCO World Heritage list alongside the Nærøyfjord in Aurland and rakes in thousands of visitors every year like a magnet.

The fjord is approximately 260 metres deep while the mountains surrounding it are between 1,600 and 1,700 metres high. Nature-lovers are sure to be astounded by this natural wonder, with the hiking possibilities here endless. For avid hikers, the Trollstigen mountain road is must-visit, with its trail snaking up to steep mountain-sides and allowing visitors to gaze at an unparalleled view of the many cascading waterfalls and lush greenery that adorns the fjord.

Of course, if you’re looking for a more cultural experience, Geirangerfjord has loads to offer as well! You can visit some of the nearby farms in the area, such as the Skageflå and the Westerås, where the locals are more than happy to accommodate tourists. Spend the night there and feast on local food while enjoying a stunning view of the fjord. Westerås in particular has a long cultural heritage, with people having been in the area since the Stone Age. Together with its blueish waters and nearby attractions like The Seven Sisters Waterfall, Dalsnibba, Flydalsjuvet and Ørnesvingen, Geirangerfjord will be an unforgettable experience, regardless of where your interests lie in.
