Geiranger bus tour: Mount Dalsnibba & Eagle Bend viewpoints

Climb to four mountain viewpoints and photograph the Geirangerfjord from above

A three-hour bus tour through Geiranger takes you to four photo stops: Flydalsjuvet, one of Norway's most photographed viewpoints; Djupvatn mountain lake at 1016 m; the Dalsnibba Skywalk at 1500 m above sea level; and Eagle Bend, which overlooks the Geirangerfjord and the Seven Sisters Waterfall. An experienced guide in English narrates the route through the UNESCO World Heritage area. If weather closes Mount Dalsnibba, the operator substitutes another Geiranger highlight. The tour is timed for cruise ship passengers and includes a back-on-time guarantee when you register your ship's name at booking.

The experience

What makes this tour work is the altitude gain without the hiking. You ride an air-conditioned bus up the serpentine Eagle Road, stopping at each vantage point as the guide explains the landscape and the geology. Flydalsjuvet sits at the entrance to the valley and frames the fjord in a way that has made it one of Norway's most photographed spots. From there, the road climbs to Djupvatn, a mountain lake at just over 1000 m, where you step out for photos and can browse a souvenir shop if you want.

The highest stop is Mount Dalsnibba's Skywalk platform at 1500 m (one of the world's highest vantage points, the operator says), where the Geirangerfjord spreads below and the surrounding peaks fill the horizon. The final stop is Eagle Bend, which gives you a different angle on the same fjord and a clear view of the Seven Sisters Waterfall dropping down the far wall. The entire route takes three to three and a half hours, including the drive and photo time at each stop. Appearance is 15 minutes before departure, and you'll need to register a correct mobile number so the driver can reach you if there's any trouble finding the meeting point.

Weather can close the high mountain in winter or rough conditions. When it does, the operator substitutes a different Geiranger highlight rather than cancel. Cruise ship passengers get priority: register your ship's name and the tour guarantees you'll be back an hour before departure. The tour is not recommended for travelers with spinal injuries or poor cardiovascular health, though it suits all other fitness levels since you're riding rather than walking.

Top questions

Can children come?

Yes. Ticket types: Child (4 to 15 years); Infant (under 4).

What is Flydalsjuvet and why do so many people photograph it?

Flydalsjuvet is a viewpoint at the entrance to Geiranger that frames the fjord and the surrounding mountains in a single view. It's one of Norway's most photographed highlights and the first stop on the tour.

How high does the bus climb on this tour?

Mount Dalsnibba, the highest stop, sits at 1500 m above sea level on the Skywalk platform. Djupvatn lake, an earlier stop, is at 1016 m.

What happens if the weather is bad and Mount Dalsnibba is closed?

If weather conditions are not favorable, the operator substitutes Mount Dalsnibba with a different Geiranger highlight rather than skip the stop, so you still get four photo locations.

Will I get back to my cruise ship on time?

Yes, if you register your ship's name at booking, the tour includes a back-on-time guarantee and will have you back one hour before your ship departs.

What can I do at Djupvatn besides take photos?

Djupvatn is a mountain lake at 1016 m where you stop for photos and can visit a well-stocked souvenir shop if you want to browse.
