Skageflå

Skageflå farm stands 250 meters above Geirangerfjorden, with steep cliffs descending directly into the deep waters of the Norwegian fjord system.

The farm operated continuously from the medieval period until 1916, when its last inhabitants left following a devastating rockslide that destroyed much of the cultivated land.

Local guides lead visitors through the preserved mountain farm structures, explaining the traditional Norwegian farming methods used in this extreme mountainous environment.

Visitors can reach the farm by taking a sightseeing boat from Geiranger to the base of the cliff, followed by a steep 30-minute climb on marked trails.

Despite its remote location, Skageflå maintained three separate mountain pastures for goats, making it one of the most productive farms in the Geiranger region.
