Geirangerfjord

Geirangerfjord is a fjord in Stranda Municipality that stretches 15 kilometers between steep mountain walls and is fed by numerous waterfalls. The water reaches a depth of 260 meters, and the surrounding peaks rise far above.

Glaciers shaped the valleys during several ice ages and carved out the rock, creating the deep fjord. The landscape we see today is the result of these massive movements over thousands of years.

Old farms perched on the slopes show how people once lived in this steep landscape. Many visitors stop to see these abandoned homesteads and understand better how hard life was here.

A car ferry connects Geiranger with Hellesylt and runs several times daily during the season. The crossing takes about an hour and offers good views on both sides of the fjord.

The Seven Sisters are seven separate waterfalls that move downward next to each other over 250 meters. On sunny days, rainbows often form at the base of the slope from the spraying water.
