The Norwegian fjord landscape constantly tops lists of the world's most beautiful places, and the Geirangerfjord is the queen of these fjords.  From Geiranger, you wind your way up Ørnesvingene to the lookout point with a panoramic view of the Geirangerfjord with the "The Seven Sisters" waterfalls, the village and the mountains. 

The road continues on through well-maintained agricultural villages, and we take a local ferry across the fjord to Valldal, the strawberry village. There we stop at the wild river rapids at Gudbrandsjuvet before climbing the mountains on our way to the top of Trollstigen. This is an old trail that has miraculously become a road with 11 hairpin bends down the steep mountainside. 

Viewpoints in rough and modern architecture give you a panorama of the road builders' skill as engineers, and the largest viewpoint platform floats 200 metres above the road. 

Safely down in the valley, there is a photo stop with coffee and a snack before we continue on to Molde for dinner and then get back on the ship.  

Trollveggen (The Troll Wall)

At the bottom of the valley, there is a photo stop at Trollveggen. This is the highest vertical mountain wall in Northern Europe and is simply breathtaking. At the visitor's centre we will be shown a great documentary about the dramatic first ascents of the 1,100 metre mountain wall and the first base jumps from the spires. We finish with a visit to the shop and coffee  before continuing on to Molde.  

There you will be served dinner at a restaurant close to the quay where you will board ship again.
