The Beauty of Norway: Cruising the Geirangerfjord and the Eagle Road
Book
price per group 1113 EUR
Disembarking from the ship in the fjord-side town of Olden by the mountain lake Oldevatnet, you will begin your journey through the land of picturesque mountain lakes and fjords formed by melting glaciers during the Ice Age.
First, you will visit the village of Loen by Lake Lovatnet. We recommend taking the Loen Skylift cable car to the top of Mount Hoven, where you can enjoy scenic views of the fjord, mountain lakes and glaciers. At the top, there is a modern panoramic restaurant where you can have a bite and a cup of coffee.
Next, you will drive along Lake Hornindalsvatnet, the deepest lake in Europe, and take a cruise on the famous Geirangerfjord, listed as one of the world's most beautiful fjords on the UNESCO World Heritage List. From the ship’s deck you will admire “the Seven Sisters” and “the Suitor” waterfalls and see dairy farms on the emerald shores of the fjord.
Upon arrival in Geiranger, you will experience a series of scenic viewpoints over the fjord, including Eagle Road, Flydalsjuvet and Dalsnibba, the last of which has snow that doesn't melt even in summer! The bravest can take a short walk along the SkyWalk trail at the edge of the cliff.
Return to Olden via the scenic mountain road, driving along the serpentine Gamle Strynefjellsvegen.
