Eagle Road

This tour is available year-round thanks to the Eagle Road. This is the only road connecting the village of Geiranger overland with the rest of Norway's towns and villages.

The steepest section of the road is called Eagle's Flight, as navigating its eleven hairpin bends at 620 meters (2,030 ft) above sea level is a bit like flying through the air.

At the topmost bend is the road's most impressive viewpoint, Ørnesvingen, which offers stunning views of the UNESCO World Heritage Site Geirangerfjord.
