Highlights

Geiranger
Geiranger is a small tourist village in Sunnmøre region of Møre og Romsdal county in the western part of Norway. It lies in the municipality of Stranda at the head of the Geirangerfjorden, which is a branch of the large Storfjorden. The nearest city is Ålesund. Geiranger is home to some of the most spectacular scenery in the world, and has been named the best travel destination in Scandinavia by Lonely Planet. Since 2005, the Geirangerfjord area has been listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The Seven Sisters waterfall is located just west of Geiranger, directly across another waterfall called "The Suitor." Norwegian County Road 63 passes through the village. Geiranger Church is the main church for the village and surrounding area. Geiranger is under constant threat from landslides from the mountain Åkerneset into the fjord. A collapse could cause a tsunami that could destroy downtown Geiranger. For this reason, sirens have been installed to warn residents if a landslide should occur.
Geiranger Skywalk
Europe’s highest fjord view from a road. The spectacular platform, Geiranger Skywalk, guarantees you an airy experience. It is quite possibly the world’s finest view – 1500 m above sea level. The toll road, Nibbevegen, takes you from Djupvasshytta at 1038 m above sea level, to the viewpoint at Dalsnibba which is at approx 1500 m. You will have an unforgettable experience of fjord culture, views towards the snow-covered mountains, pure air and the World Heritage Area - all at the same time.
Geirangerfjord
The Geiranger Fjord is a fjord in the Sunnmøre region of Møre og Romsdal county, Norway. It is located entirely in the Stranda Municipality. It is a 15-kilometer-long branch off the Sunnylvsfjorden, which is a branch of the Storfjorden (Great Fjord). The small village of Geiranger is located at the end of the fjord where the Geirangelva river empties into it. The fjord is one of Norway's most visited tourist sites. In 2005, it was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, jointly with the Nærøyfjorden. This status was challenged by the disputed plans to build power lines across the fjord. The deep blue UNESCO-protected Geirangerfjord is surrounded by majestic, snow-covered mountain peaks, wild waterfalls and lush, green vegetation.
Mount Dalsnibba
Dalsnibba is a mountain in Stranda Municipality in Møre og Romsdal county, Norway. It is located at the end of the Geiranger valley, about 7 km south of the village of Geiranger and the Geirangerfjorden. The 2-square-kilometer lake Djupvatnet lies directly to the southeast of the mountain. The mountain is located very near the county border with both Oppland and Sogn og Fjordane counties, in the southeastern part of Møre og Romsdal county. Dalsnibba offers a good view and is therefore a popular tourist destination. Dalsnibba is often covered by snow even in the summer. The Norwegian County Road 63 passes along the south side of the mountain, and from that road, there is a private toll road called Nibbevegen, owned and operated by Geiranger Skysslag, that goes up to the summit of Dalsnibba, a drive of about 21 km from Geiranger. It was completed in 1939 but due to the Second World War, its official opening was delayed until July 19, 1948. The road was tarmacked in 2013.
Norsk Klippfiskmuseum
The Norwegian Clipfish Museum is located in Kristiansund and is established as part of the Nordmøre Museum. The museum is located in Milnbrygga, an authentic clipfish pier from the mid-18th century. The museum shows how clipfish production has taken place in Norway for more than 250 years. The pier includes rockfish mountains and a washing area for fish. The facility is centrally located by the harbor, in the middle of Kristiansund's cityscape. Every year, a bacalao festival is held where companies and clipfish lovers compete to make the best bacalao. Bacalao in Norwegian is a stew of clipfish. Clipfish have been produced here since before 1749, when the Scottish clipfish merchant William Gordon erected the oldest parts of the pier. The building was named after a later owner, also one of the Scottish clipfish merchants, Walter Miln. Milnbrygga is a warehouse, built in -built timber and large galleries lengthwise. The word pier means in Nordmøre and in Kristiansund a house, a boathouse, which is located in the landscape so that it has a direct inflow, ie that boats and vessels can be laid directly next to the building so that loading and unloading take place directly between building and boat.
The Eagle Road
Ørnevegen – Eagle Road – is the name given to the steepest stretch of road up the mountainside from Geiranger to Eidsdal. The road waves through 11 hairpin curve up from the Geirangerfjord and to the highest point on the stretch, 620 meters above sea level at Korsmyra. The road was officially opened on 15th September 1955 and gave the village of Geiranger year-round road access. The road was an attraction from the very first day, and was called Eagle Road because at its highest point it passed through terrain that had traditionally been the domain of a large number of eagles. The name also reveals the wildness, the spectacular that tourists and others using the road will experience, especially if they stop at Ørnesvingen, the highest of the hairpins.
