Please say the bus and cruise time if I flight from Oslo , the flight landing at around 10 am in Alesund . How far is this To Geirenger
Planning to visit Geiranger? This is everything you need to know before you go - from someone who's lived in Norway for 20 years, not a travel influencer who visited for two days.
The Geirangerfjord is one of Norway's most visited destinations and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. But what the brochures don't mention: it's a tiny village of 300 people completely overwhelmed by cruise ship tourism. In this video, I'll show you how to experience it properly, which viewpoints are worth your time, the hikes most tourists miss, and how to avoid the biggest mistakes people make here.
I would like to go someday but I can't fjord it.
I cover Flydalsjuvet (and why people risk their lives for Instagram), the Eagle Road, Dalsnibba toll road (and when NOT to go), the Skageflå hike with its fascinating tax evasion history, boat options, accommodation realities, and practical warnings about parking, weather, and drone restrictions.
Whether you're driving through Western Norway, arriving by cruise ship, or planning an overnight stay - this guide gives you the honest information you won't find in tourist brochures.
There is also a new Electric Tour Boat.
