Beginning in Geiranger, the tour takes you by bus through breathtaking landscapes and along remarkable stretches of road. We’ll stop for photos at scenic viewpoints and cross two fjords by ferry. A highlight of the journey is the ride with the Romsdal Gondola, taking you to the summit of Mount Nesaksla, where a Nordic-style dinner awaits at Eggen Restaurant.

Geiranger

The adventure kicks off in Geiranger, ascending the serpentine Ørnesvingen ("Eagle turns") to a vantage point that presents a stunning view of the fjord. This spot allows for views of the Seven Sisters waterfalls, the quaint village, and the majestic mountains that frame the scene.

We continue our journey through neat farmlands before catching a ferry across the fjord from Eidsdal to Linge. Before heading up the mountains to Trollstigen, we stop to see the stunning Gudbrandsjuvet river rapids. At Trollstigen's peak, we pause at the viewing platforms to take in the incredible view.

Trollstigen ("The Troll ladder"), a path of historical significance now transformed into a road, features eleven hairpin curves that meander down the steep mountainside. The innovative architecture at the viewing points offers a deep dive into the craft of road construction, with the largest platform providing the sensation of hovering high above the roadway.

In the valley below, the towering Trollveggen ("The Troll Wall"), the highest vertical rock face in Northern Europe, promises awe-inspiring views.

The journey continues with a ride on the Romsdal Gondola, an unparalleled means to take in the stunning vistas of Romsdalen's fjords and mountains. The gondola lifts you from the fjord's edge to the peak of Nesaksla, offering a 360-degree view of Romsdalshornet, Vengetindene, Åndalsnes, the verdant valleys, and the vibrant Rauma River. Short, clearly marked trails lead to various viewpoints for further exploration.

At Nesaksla's summit is the Eggen Restaurant, where we will savour a meal against the backdrop of the panoramic mountain landscape. The restaurant specializes in modern Nordic cuisine with a local twist, drawing inspiration from the area's culinary heritage.

The Romsdal Gondola stands as Norway's inaugural gondola initiative grounded in sustainability, featuring infrastructure that conceals water, power, and sewage systems within a borehole from the fjord to the summit, leaving the natural surroundings untouched. With no road access to the mountain top, the gondola serves as the sole mode of transport for both people and supplies. Moreover, Eggen Restaurant is designed with the future in mind, allowing for modifications or dismantlement by coming generations without harming the environment.
