One of the many highlights of this tour is the Fjord cruise on the famous Geirangerfjord, a UNESCO listed World Heritage Site, and Norway's most beautiful fjord. Along the fjord, there are a number of abandoned mountain farms and impressive waterfalls, including the Seven Sisters and the Suitor. If you look up towards the towering mountains surrounding the fjord, you will see mountain farms clinging to the cliffs. It's hard to believe that people actually lived there not too long ago! Enjoy a cup of coffee or maybe even a waffle, as the boat slides slowly past the magnificent landscapes between the charming coastal town of Ålesund and the idyllic Geiranger.
The Trollstigen road is a spectacular mountain road and one of Norway's most popular National Scenic Routes. You travel by bus between Geiranger and Åndalsnes via Trollstigen road, and there are several installations and awe-inspiring viewpoints along the route. There will be a 40-minute photo stop at Trollstigen viewpoint and a 10-minute stop at Gudbrandsjuvet gorge. The bus trip is a comfortable and exciting experience where you can enjoy sensational views from your window.
Ålesund is a truly stunning town! Named Norway's most beautiful town by The Times, Ålesund is located on the western coast of Norway, where the mountains and fjords meet the Atlantic Ocean. The city is known for its Art Noveau architecture and wide selection of exciting activities. Here, you will find a variety of towers, spires, and buildings with beautiful decorations, and just taking a stroll through the city can be quite an adventure. Together with other gorgeous European cities such as Barcelona, Brussels, Vienna, Riga, and Glasgow, Ålesund is actually part of the exclusive Réseau Art Nouveau Network, a European network of Jugend-style cities.
Åndalsnes is located by the Romsdalsfjord and surrounded by towering mountain peaks. A well-known landmark in Åndalsnes is the "Rampestreken" viewpoint. You can get to Rampestreken via the Romsdalstrappene and will be rewarded with a fantastic view over Åndalsnes at the top! Or, if you want to skip the hike, take the new Romsdalen Gondola to the top for equally epic views! Romsdalen has also been used as a backdrop for international blockbusters such as Harry Potter and Mission Impossible. According to Lonely Planet, you will find one of the world's most beautiful mountain hikes in Åndalsnes, the "Romsdalseggen Hike".
