Top 10 Experiences in Geiranger in Autumn
Here are the top 10 experiences in Geiranger in autumn:
- Mountain Summit Tours: Autumn is the best time for mountain hikes, and Geiranger offers many spectacular summit tours. We highly recommend these three peaks, all of which offer spectacular views of Geiranger and the fjord: Vinsåshornet, Geitfonnegga, and Laushornet.
2. Enjoy the Starry Sky: With autumn comes darker evenings. Enjoy the starry sky from our outdoor pool! And if you're lucky, you might even get to see the Northern Lights!
3. Experience the Autumn Colors in the Mountains: Driving over Geiranger Mountain in autumn is a beautiful experience! We also recommend taking the trip up to Dalsnibba at 1500 meters above sea level, which remains open until the snow arrives in the high mountains (check Dalsnibba.no for road conditions to the top).
4. Autumn = Spa Time: Autumn is the perfect time to enjoy the warmth inside Union Spa! Especially on gray and rainy days. Welcome inside!
5. Rent an Electric Bike: When the "tourist season" is winding down, there is significantly less traffic on the roads - perfect for exploring Geiranger by electric bike!
6. Go on a Photo Safari: Autumn offers strong contrasts and many beautiful photos! Contrasts in colors - red, orange, yellow, and green. Contrasts between sun and shadow - the sun is lower in the sky, and the high mountains cast shadows, creating an even more dramatic landscape.
7. Picnic in the Great Outdoors: Bring a good packed lunch from the hotel, fill the thermos with coffee, and head out for a hike in the beautiful landscape. Enjoy a good lunch with a view of Geirangerfjorden. We highly recommend a hike to Vesterås, Vesteråsfjellet, Løsta, or Storsæterfossen.
8. Enjoy the Flavors of Autumn: Autumn offers many delicious flavors! Fresh Norwegian vegetables, mushrooms, and game! Enjoy a fine meal in our à la carte restaurant, Restaurant Julie.
9. Kayak Trip on the Fjord: In autumn, the fjord also becomes calmer, and there's nothing like paddling a kayak "alone" on a tranquil fjord!
10. RIB Tour or Sightseeing Tour on the Fjord: Geirangerfjorden is beautiful regardless of the season, and each season has its charm. Experience the fjord in autumn colors - either with a fast-paced RIB tour or on board the sightseeing boat MS Geirangerfjord. Or how about traveling the fjord road all the way from Ålesund to Geiranger?
Additional Tips:
- Take the Fossevandringa trail down to the center and explore shops while enjoying a good lunch.
- Visit the Norwegian Fjord Center - learn about the World Heritage and enjoy a cup of coffee by the fireplace in the newly renovated café.
- Visit Geiranger Gallery.
- Join the Geiranger Festival from September 14th to 17th.
