GEIRANGER
TOUR C241 - MOUNT DALSNIBBA AND EAGLE ROAD
| Duration: Approx. 3 hours | Price Range: TBC |
The Geirangerfjord is without doubt the most beautiful of all Norwegian fjords. Majestic mountains, impressive glaciers and cascading waterfalls give this fjord its unique character. The tour starts from the small village of Geiranger, which with 260 inhabitants is one of the most well-known tourist resorts in Norway. The coach climbs up the winding mountain road, which offers an ever-changing kaleidoscope of mountain farms, waterfalls, lakes and streams, to Lake Djupvatn, and continues round hairpins to the summit of Mount Dalsnibba, 1,500 metres above sea level. From this vantage point we have a spectacular view of Geirangerfjord far below and the magnificent mountain peaks all around. On the way down we stop at the Flydal viewpoint to take pictures of the classical Geiranger motif of the fjord, with our own cruise ship anchored in the bay. After descending to Geiranger, we continue to the north side of the fjord and travel along the winding Eagle Road to the famous viewpoint at the Eagle Bend. The Eagle Road which is carved into the mountain side has eleven hair-pin bends, and from the top you can see two of the best known waterfalls, the Seven Sisters and the Pulpit. Our return to the quayside at Geiranger is via the same road. By coach, subject to a minimum of 35/maximum of 350. |
