A Walk Through Geiranger

By Anna Quargentan

Welcome to Geiranger, one of the most spectacular and renowned places in Norway, part of the Unesco World Heritage List since 2005

Whether visiting Geiranger while fjord cruising or staying longer, don't stop solely at the ancient boat houses lining the pedestrian street, at the stunning fjord views from the panoramic spots, or at the thrilling hairpin-bends climbing up to 4920 ft: dive deeper, and get a closer look. Understand its history, common to many of the villages scattered among the Norwegian fjords; its fame, which started at the end of the 19th century with the first royal tourists; its setting, in a magnificent natural landscape rich in animal life. Let this brief guide be your companion to understanding the peculiarity of such a remote and fascinating village, yet so representative of Norwegian culture.

With more than 140 full-color pictures, this books makes the perfect keepsake of your holiday, both as a photo souvenir and as a story to share with family and friends back home.
