Introducing Hellesylt
The old Viking port of Hellesylt, through which a roaring waterfall cascades, is altogether calmer, if less breathtaking, than Geiranger.

The tourist office (94 81 13 32; core hrs 10am-5pm mid-Jun–Aug) is in the Samfunnhuset (Community Centre) building. For hikers, it carries Tafjardfjella, a walking map at 1:50, 000, and for cyclists, Hellesylt Mountain Biking Map. There’s also an internet terminal (Nkr40 per hour).
The Peer Gynt Galleriet (adult/child Nkr50/free; 11am-7pm Jun-Aug) is a collection of fairly kitsch bas-relief wood carvings illustrating the Peer Gynt legend and fashioned by local chippy, Oddvin Parr. You may find the food at the complex’s cafeteria more to your taste.
