Visiting the Geirangerfjord in Norway

Geirangerfjord is one of Norway’s most famous fjords. Along with Nærøyfjord, Geirangerfjord comprises a UNESCO World Heritage Site of the West Norwegian Fjords. 

Situated in the Sunnmøre region of Møre in Romsdal county, this fjord is centered around the small village of Geiranger.

Surrounded by rural farmland, steep mountains, and dotted with waterfalls, it’s no wonder this is a popular place to visit.
