Geiranger – Mount Dalsnibba & Eagle Road By bus you will depart from the village of Geiranger and drive uphill through numerous hairpin bends. The first stop is at Flydalsjuvet, an amazing place to look out over UNESCO’s Geirangerfjord. After a short stop, the bus will take you all the way up the famous Mount Dalsnibba, to the Geiranger Skywalk, approximately 1500 meters above sea level. Once more you will be able to enjoy a jaw droppingly beautiful view over Geiranger and the Geirangerfjord. The excursion continues to Djupvatnet, a mountain lake which lies at approximately 1000 meters above sea level, where you can take some more pictures. Before heading back to pier, you will experience the Eagle Road, a spectacular road with 11 hairpin bends. On the steep sides of the road you might spot goats grazing grass. Once you arrive at the last hairpin bend, the bus will stop for a break. You can walk to the platform for another majestic view over a.o. the Geirangerfjord and the waterfall “Seven Sisters”.
