I recommend visiting the fjord during summer as it's amazingly stunning then. Most of the people working in the town are not Norwegian so don't expect much authentic Norwegian food, but the fjord itself is amazing. They have a chocolate shop in town which makes local chocolate, check that out. There's also a museum. Other than that, I don't recommend staying here as there's nothing much to do, it's a *very* small town. A day trip is preferred.
Geiranger was one of the ports on our cruise to Norway's fjords; and Geirangerfjord is one of the country's best known and most spectacular fjords. The channel is ten miles long with picture postcard views of sheer cliffs, waterfalls, and gorgeous green water all the way. It's a photographer's paradise. The channel is only about 1600 feet wide, about 1200 feet deep, with peaks up to 6000 feet high on each side. In a word...it's simply splendid.Waterfalls are best in spring when there is lots of snow melt. They are named 'Seven Sisters', the 'Suitor', 'Bridal Veil', and more. We took a rib boat to get a closer look and it was well worth the investment. They suited us up in what looked like space suits complete with goggles and hoods. We had a wonderful time. Little farmsteads are perched precariously on the cliffs on either side of the Fjord. One can only imagine the treacherous paths used to reach these places.Make sure to look at my photos to get a good idea of this wonderful fjord. It's one not to miss when you are in Western Norway.
有句话说的好 峡湾就是挪威的灵魂 在我看来 它不仅是挪威的灵魂 更可以荡涤人们的灵魂~ 悬崖、瀑布、激流……坐在船上欣赏则是另外一种风景 另外 一定要爬到顶端欣赏壮丽的景色哦
Our once-in-a-lifetime experience of cruising the Norwegian fjords was highlighted by the great beauty and splendor of the Geiranger Fjord. The cascading waterfalls, the mountains were a breath-taking view and are a visual description of what serenity is. Our cruise ship, The Hurtigruten and its crew did a wonderful job in guiding and telling us through the whole journey. I highly recommend this experience for couples, retirees and any kid who would like to see the real version of the fjords they showed in the Disney movie Frozen.
Great place to visit. The size of the fjords is massive, a cruise ship looks like a dot once you get to the top of the fjord. It's magni. If you visit the fjords only book a cruise that has this stop on it, you won't regret it.
Norway is beautiful and a trip here without going to see Geirangerfjord is like going to Arizona and not see the Grand Canyon. Definitely recommended!
The ship tied up to a mooring buoy at Geiranger and a seawalk was moved out for disembarcation. Very efficient and something only RCL used. Before and after mooring at the town of Geiranger, the ship cruised through the Fjord. There were vacant farms on the sides of the fjord as well as gorgeous waterfalls. We saw people kayaking throughout the fjord. I would love to return!
The landscape is absolutely wonderful, but we really couldn't enjoy it, as the place was absolutely jam-packed with frustrated tourists (ourselves included). The fjord cruise was nice though - even if the boat was also jam-packed. If you just looked at the magnificent rock-faces, the isolated and now abandoned farms and the waterfalls, and ignored the complaining, entitled tourists, you could almost imagine you were alone. ;)
To sail the Geiranger Fjord in the spring all the way to the little village of Geiranger is to travel to the fantasy worlds we have seen in movies and we've read about in books - a luxurious fjord, with all shades of green, high waterfalls, cliffs and mountains and clear blue water.Geiranger Fjord is a MUST VISIT for all landscape and nature lovers.
