The Geiranger fjord has been described as magical, breathtaking, and fairytale-like, and those aren’t exaggerations. It is arguably the most beautiful fjord in Norway, with sparkling turquoise crystalline waters, and impressive thundering waterfalls. Geiranger is the jewel in the crown of the Norwegian fjords. It is a fairytale landscape with its majestic, snow-covered mountain tops, wild and beautiful waterfalls, lush green vegetation and the deep, blue fjord. Take a fjord sightseeing trip and experience it all. Or hit the roads that twist and turn through one hairpin bend after another to Dalsnibba, Flydalsjuvet, and Ørnesvingen, to experience a fantastic, panoramic view of one of most beautiful tourist destinations in the world. Hellesylt is part of the Unesco World Heritage Sites. It’s famous for the fjord and the small houses (dwellings) in the mountainside and is a perfect location for hiking and sightseeing.
