Introduction
The Eagle Road (Ørnesvingen) is a famous mountain road on the north side of the Geirangerfjord, spiraling upward via eleven sharp hairpin bends in an astonishing display, named for the way it soars like an eagle. This dramatically engineered road is an important passage out of the fjord, threading through steep, majestic mountains with spectacular scenery. At its highest point sits the Eagle Bend viewpoint, an excellent vantage to overlook the full Geirangerfjord panorama — looking down from here, you take in the deep fjord, the winding road, the cliffside waterfalls and the village in the valley in a vast, breathtaking vista of unsurpassed beauty. Driving this thrilling, magnificent mountain road by car or bus and gazing over the fjord's ultimate view from the viewpoint is an unforgettable experience of any Geiranger trip, full of wonder.
