At the Eagle Bends, a wide twist in the road allows heart-stopping views of the Geirangerfjord and the town of Geiranger. We will glimpse the waterfalls known as the Seven Sisters and see abandoned mountain farms clinging to the rugged hillside.
The Eagle’s Road, as it is known locally, is Geiranger’s only connection with the outside world during the winter months. With dramatic corners and an impossibly steep gradient, the road is an adventure in itself. But on this tour, more visual delights await us. At the Eagle Bends, a wide twist in the road allows heart-stopping views of the Geirangerfjord and the town of Geiranger. We will glimpse the waterfalls known as the Seven Sisters and see abandoned mountain farms clinging to the rugged hillside. Further along the road, at Flydalsjuvet, is another spectacular viewpoint that truly captures the Geirangerfjord vista. Worth the journey up for this view alone, the added bonus is that we can see our ship in the fjord below from both photo stops. Back on the road again, we will find that the trip down the valley offers a different perspective of the region. We will now visit the Norwegian Fjord Centre, which will give us an introduction to what people who once lived along the fjord were like and how they lived. As we wander through recreated historical settings, we will gain a great sense of what life must have been like over 100 years ago.Under extreme weather conditions, some of these roads can be closed at short notice.
There is walking involved at the Norwegian Fjord Centre. Steps and uneven ground will be encountered. Please note, hairpin bends will be encountered, therefore it may not be suitable for passengers who suffer from vertigo.
