2025 Geiranger Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in May)

#2月好去地方2025 A century-old Norwegian hotel established in 1981, HOTEL UNION Geiranger is located halfway up the mountain, close to the Geiranger Fjord, with beautiful scenery. There is a small waterfall in front of the hotel. Follow the trail down to the beach, and the view is amazing when you open the window! The old hotel is not only elegantly decorated, but also houses a beautiful antique car. The Fjord Room is 25 square meters in size. Although it is not a very large room, it has a beautiful view of the fjord outside the window and is quite comfortable to live in. The price for one night for two people including breakfast is NT$6,500. The buffet breakfast has a rich variety of dishes, especially the desserts, which are very delicious. I heard that the seafood buffet for dinner is even richer, with even crayfish, mussels, and crabs. The mountains and waters of Norway are magnificent, comparable to the fjords of New Zealand. Staying at HOTEL UNION Geiranger for one night and being able to see the beautiful fjords is truly an unforgettable experience. #Norway #Fjords

Hello Summer! Norway is renowned worldwide for its magnificent fjords. These unique geographical features elevate Norway's natural beauty to its peak, and summer is the best season to explore them. Among the many fjords, four stand out with their unique charm, attracting countless visitors. The Sognefjord is Norway's largest fjord and one of the longest and deepest in the world. Stretching 204 kilometers and reaching depths of 1,308 meters, its towering peaks and steep cliffs rise into the clouds. In the summer sunlight, the Sognefjord reveals its majestic grandeur, and you can take a boat tour to experience the wonders of nature. For the best photos, sit on the left side of the train from Mydral to Flam, which takes about an hour. The Hardangerfjord, located in the central western region of Norway in Hordaland County, is the second longest fjord in Norway and the fourth longest in the world. Unlike the Sognefjord's grandeur, the Hardangerfjord is known for its gentle curves and pastoral scenery. The fjord's shores are lined with lush forests and vast pastures, offering a sense of tranquility and harmony with nature. A unique sight here is the "Devil's Tongue," a peculiar rock formation resembling a devil's tongue extending from a cliff. Tickets can be purchased from norled.no, starting from Norheimsund, and then taking a boat to Eidfjord to enjoy the stunning fjord views. The Geirangerfjord, a UNESCO World Heritage site, is located north of Bergen on Norway's southwest coast and is considered one of the most beautiful and mysterious fjords in Norway. It stretches 16 kilometers, with mountains rising over 1,500 meters on either side. The Geirangerfjord is famous for its numerous waterfalls, such as "The Bridal Veil" and "The Seven Sisters," cascading down steep cliffs. Regular ferry services run between Hellesylt and Geiranger from May to September. The Lysefjord, located in southern Norway, is 42 kilometers long. Its entrance is at Stavanger on Norway's west coast, where the river winds between towering cliffs and majestic mountains. The Lysefjord is renowned for the 600-meter-high Preikestolen cliff. Standing atop this natural viewing platform, along with the Kjeragbolten boulder wedged between cliffs, are must-visit spots. The climb to Preikestolen takes over three hours and is quite challenging. Norway's four major fjords each have their unique features, leaving visitors enchanted. In the summer sunlight, these fjords reveal their distinct charm, drawing countless tourists to explore. #NatureScenery #MustSeeViews #Nature #TravelBeauty #Travel #Scenery #Norway #InternationalTravel #NorwegianFjords

Geiranger is a small tourist village in the Sunnmøre region of Møre-Lømsdal county in western Norway. It is located in the municipality of Stranda at the head of the Geirangerfjord. Geiranger has beautiful scenery and was once rated as the best tourist destination in Scandinavia by Lonely Planet magazine. Since 2005, the Geirangerfjord area has been listed as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. The Seven Sisters Waterfall is located west of the Geirangerfjord, opposite another waterfall called "The Suitor". Geiranger Church is the main church for the village and surrounding area. As Norway's third-largest cruise port, Geiranger welcomes between 140 and 180 cruise ships during the four-month peak tourist season. In summer 2012, around 300,000 cruise passengers visited the Geirangerfjord. The way cruise ships go ashore is different from that in ordinary cities. Perhaps for environmental protection reasons, the village has not built a pier for large cruise ships to dock. The speedboats on the ship are the only means of docking. Hundreds of thousands of people pass through the village every summer, and tourism is the main business for the 250 people who live there permanently. There are five hotels and more than a dozen campgrounds. The peak tourist season lasts from May to early September. There is a very good restaurant on the mountain. It uses local specialties and the price is reasonable. It does not increase the price due to the peak tourist season, so it is almost my only choice every time I go to Geiranger. #OverseasTravel #NorwayTravel #NorwayTourism #NorwayScenery #NorwegianFjords #I miss Norway so much #FoodSharing #norway #geiranger

The scenic Dalsnibár is a mountain in the village of Geiranger, Stranda, in the Norwegian county of Mølømsdal. From the top of the mountain at an altitude of 1,476 meters, you can have a panoramic view of the Geirangerfjord, a world natural heritage site below the mountain. Because it is located in the fjord and at a high altitude, it is often covered with snow even in midsummer and the temperature usually does not exceed 10 degrees. Norwegian Route 63 passes through the south side of the mountain. Outside the road is Lake Jupvanet. There is a hotel on the west bank of the lake. Opposite the hotel is a private toll road leading to the top of Dalsnibal Mountain. The total distance from the toll station to the top of the mountain at an altitude of 1,476 meters is 4.5 kilometers. Construction of the private road was completed in 1939, but its official opening was delayed until July 19, 1948 due to World War II, and it was not paved with asphalt until 2013. #Overseas travel #Norway travel #Norway tourism #Norway scenery #Norway attractions #Norway fjords #I miss Norway so much #Geiranger fjord #norway #mountain
