Introduction
Perched about 1,500 metres above the Geiranger valley, the Dalsnibba viewpoint is for many travellers the ultimate fjord photo spot. The climb along Nibbevegen passes the jewel-blue Lake Djupvatnet before reaching a well-built platform where Geirangerfjord, the valley of the Seven Sisters falls and distant snowpeaks stack up in layers, with extraordinary visibility on clear days. Sightseeing buses from Geiranger pier make this their turnaround point, sparing you a tense mountain drive.
