Flydalsjuvet
Somewhere you've seen that classic photo, beloved of brochures, of the overhanging rock Flydalsjuvet, usually with a figure gazing down at a cruise ship in Geirangerfjord.

For that, you'll have to drop about 150m down the hill, then descend a slippery and rather indistinct track to the edge. Your intrepid photo subject will have to scramble down gingerly to the overhang about 50m further along…

Coastal Odyssey
Coastal Odyssey, based at Geiranger Camping (a short walk from the ferry terminal), is run by Jonathan Bendiksen, a Canadian from the Northwest Territories who learnt to kayak almost before he could walk. He rents sea-kayaks (Nkr150/300/600 per hour/half-day/day) and does daily hiking and canoeing trips to four of the finest destinations around the fjord.

Geiranger Fjordsenter
The Geiranger Fjordsenter has tools, artefacts and even whole buildings that have been uprooted and brought here, illustrating the essential themes – the mail packet, avalanches, the building of early roads and the rise of tourism – that have shaped the land and its people.
