About this experience
We start the day down by the pier in Geiranger, where your guide meets you and gets everyone ready for a spectacular RIB ride out the fjord. With fresh sea air, high speed, and incredible scenery, you really feel the fjord come alive as we cruise past waterfalls, towering cliffs, and remote mountain farms.
At Skagehola we step ashore and begin the ascent towards Skageflå. The trail is steep but well secured – and the reward is immense: a breathtaking panoramic view. Along the way, your guide shares stories about life on the mountain farm, the royal wedding visit, and how people once survived in this dramatic landscape.
From Skageflå, we continue on foot along the mountainside back towards Geiranger. This part of the hike offers constant views down into the fjord and fantastic photo opportunities all the way.
