Geiranger, Norway

Visitors come to the tiny village of Geiranger for one singular purpose: to explore the breathtaking fjords. A UNESCO World Heritage site, narrow Geirangerfjord is surrounded by steep cliffs and roaring waterfalls that plunge straight into the clear blue waters below in a dramatic theater of nature. A few abandoned sheep farms are the only mark that human hands have left on this rugged landscape. The Geiranger Skywalk offers spectacular views from the Dalsnibba mountain, and the hairpin bends of winding Eagle Road present an equally glorious perspective. Sailing into the fjord on the yacht is an amazing experience in itself, inspiring you to explore further on a boat cruise or kayaking expedition. Keep a lookout for the Seven Sisters, the Suitor and the Bridal Veil, stunning waterfalls along the fjord that are only visible from the water.
