Three days in Geiranger
Day 1 | Into the fjord, into winter

On arrival we take care of your luggage while you join Fjord Ranger on the Waterfall Hike (Fossevandringa) and a guided tour that opens up the landscape and the history around the fjord. You also have the chance to visit the Norwegian Fjord Centre before checking in at Union Geiranger Resort & Spa.
The rest of the afternoon is yours. Find the warmth in Union Spa, slow down, and get ready for the evening. In the Vintage Car Garage we gather for an aperitif and stories from the hotel, before a three-course dinner is served.
Day 2 | Choose your own winter day
Start the day with breakfast and views of the mountains. Then enjoy the hotel and the spa at your own pace, or book an extra experience: snowshoeing or a hike with a local guide, kayaking on the fjord, or a combined fjord cruise and fishing trip. What suits best depends on the weather and conditions.
In the evening we gather by the fire for stories and something good in the glass. The day ends with another three-course dinner at the hotel.
Day 3 | Last day by the fjord
After breakfast there is time for a slow morning, a final visit to the spa, or a pre-booked activity. Enjoy Geiranger a little longer before the journey back to Ålesund in the afternoon.

Without suitable snow conditions, it becomes a guided hike on trails and viewpoints in the area. The tour is adapted to the group and gives you new perspectives on the fjord. Approximately three hours, with transport to and from the starting point included. From age 8. Minimum two participants.
Kayaking on the Geirangerfjord · Uteguiden
From the kayak you see the mountainsides rise from the water and experience the fjord landscape at a different pace. A guided nature experience that lets you come close to the World Heritage site from the fjord itself. Approximately three hours, including transport and changing facilities. From age 5. Minimum two participants. The trip depends on weather conditions.
Fjord cruise and fishing trip · local skipper
Join a boat trip that combines a fjord cruise, local history, and fishing. Among other things, you head towards the Seven Sisters while the skipper tells you about the farms and life along the fjord. Then you try your luck fishing at selected spots. Fishing equipment and bait are included, and the skipper helps along the way. This is an experience of the fjord, and a catch cannot be guaranteed. Approximately two hours.From age 10. Dress for the weather. In wind or ice, the trip may be changed or cancelled.
