Description
“Hiking in the Geirangerfjord” is an inspiring guidebook featuring 93 hiking trails in the spectacular World Heritage Site surrounding the Geirangerfjord, Sunnylvsfjord, and Tafjord. This is one of Norway’s best-known and most-visited natural areas, and it is listed on UNESCO’s World Heritage List because of its unique fjord landscape featuring steep mountainsides, waterfalls, and lush fjord villages.
This book takes you to some of the most beautiful viewpoints and hiking trails around the Geirangerfjord, ranging from short, family-friendly walks to longer, more challenging mountain hikes. Along the way, you’ll experience dramatic fjord landscapes, historic mountain farms, old trails, and magnificent views of the three World Heritage fjords.
All 93 hiking trails are presented with routes marked on aerial photos, providing a very clear and intuitive overview of the terrain. The hike descriptions include practical information about the routes, while the book also shares fascinating stories about nature, cultural history, and the attractions you’ll encounter along the way. This makes *Opptur Geirangerfjorden* both a hiking guide and a cultural-historical journey of discovery through one of the world’s most beautiful fjord landscapes.
The book was written by Merete Løvoll Rønneberg, communications director at the Geirangerfjord World Heritage Foundation. Through her work and her strong ties to the area, she has gained unique local knowledge that is clearly reflected in the book’s thorough and inspiring hiking descriptions.
The book was published in 2009 and remains a valuable hiking guide for anyone who wants to explore the World Heritage Site around the Geirangerfjord on foot.
