Geiranger Village

Highlight • Settlement

A beautiful fiord.

At the beginning of July, unbelievable masses of water fall from the mountains into the valley with a huge roar. Breathtakingly beautiful.

Storfossen Waterfall (Geiranger)

Highlight • Waterfall

Beautiful waterfall in the middle of Geiranger, tons of water and you definitely get wet on the way up!!
Otherwise super nice and worth a 'climb'

View of Geirangerfjord and Storfossen Waterfall

Highlight • Viewpoint

Very nice vantage point, which can be reached relatively easily on foot from the village. Can also be built into a circular route. Up the road and back down over the waterfall.

It starts in the town and runs directly up the river.

Stone Steps to Waterfall View

There were really a lot of steps. How did they go down, it's a little bit on your knee.

Storseter Falls

Of course, one is not alone at this highlight, but it is worthwhile in any case to look at this waterfall. For fans of spectacular photos the chance to go behind the waterfall.

June 21, 2024,Geiranger Wasserfall Runde

Today the MS Amera took us through the Geiranger Fjord to the town of the same name. We went ashore in the first tender boat. The Storsaeterfossen was our destination. On the "Waterfall Trail" we went uphill 640m. Endless steps and steps. But it was worth it. You can walk under the waterfall on a narrow path.

Storsæterfossen - a must see in Geiranger
The climb to Storsæterfossen waterfall is strenuous but worth it. Endless stone stairs lead up to the starting point of the waterfall, breathtaking views accompany the way. Sometimes the path is muddy in between, slippery in places. Sturdy shoes with profile are therefore strongly recommended. We took our time at the top of …

The path begins at the harbor and leads past the waterfall directly below the village. It then goes steadily uphill on a path paved with large natural stone slabs and countless steps. About halfway along the path there is a farm with small snacks and drinks. From there the path continues until just before the waterfall. Here there is a …

With many hikes they say "the path is the goal" - with this hike I really have to say "the goal is the goal".

The Storsaeterfossen is really beautiful and the fact that you can walk under it is "unique" and a wonderful moment.

The walk is a lot easier and shorter if you start from the farm.
Don't forget to go behind the waterfall!
The loop back down was quite difficult, not a very good path, so you could either return the same way or go up the difficult part.

The tour is shown as very easy (green) to easy (blue). For flat lands and when it rains, I would say medium to difficult.
