Geiranger, Norway

Views

A 1,476 m summit with a platform looking down on Geiranger and its fjord, reached by a toll road off route 63. The road usually opens from late May to October; the upper hairpins are narrow.

Dalsnibba is a 1,476 m mountain in Stranda Municipality in Møre og Romsdal, Norway, about 7 km south of Geiranger, and one of the best-known viewpoints over the Geirangerfjord (Visit Norway gives roughly 1,500 m). A private toll road, the Nibbevegen run by Geiranger Skysslag, climbs up from Road 63. Wikipedia gives about 21 km of driving from Geiranger, while Visit Norway describes 5 km of asphalt road with 11 hairpin bends and a gradient of around 10%. Wikipedia says the road officially opened in 1948, whereas Visit Norway says it was completed in 1939.

At the top is a platform with a grated floor and glass railing above a drop of about 500 m. You can see the Geirangerfjord, snow-capped peaks, the Blåbreen glacier and the village of Geiranger. Visit Norway recommends sunrise, sunset or clear autumn nights for stargazing, and the Skycafé serves coffee and light meals. Check before you set off whether the road is open, and keep an eye on the weather and visibility.
