The Best of Geiranger from Hellesylt
Start your day from Hellesylt cruise port and travel with your guide to Geiranger and the UNESCO World Heritage area.
On your way to Geiranger, visit the Hornindal Lake, Norway's and Europe's deepest lake, officially measured to a depth of 514 m (1686 ft). Take a break in the town Stryn, famous for its charming streets with clothing stores and a good stop to stretch your legs. You will pass the beautiful lake of Oppstryn and take a photostop at Jostedalsbreen Nasjonalparksenter. You will also make a short photo stop at the Øvstefossen Waterfall.
After a ride over mountain roads, you’ll reach two of the most impressive highlights in Geiranger: the spectacular Djupvatn lake and the top of the famous mountain Dalsnibba at the altitude of 1500 m (4920 ft) above sea level. From Dalsnibba mountain top you will be able to see the village of Geiranger, the Eagle Bend and surrounding waterfalls.
Once you`ve reached Dalsnibba, you will start the return back to Hellesylt.
