Geiranger Eagle Road
Fv6363Geiranger to Eidsdal
Eleven hairpins above one of the world’s great fjords.
The Ørnevegen, 'Eagle Road', climbs eleven tight hairpins out of Geiranger to the Ørnesvingen lookout, with the UNESCO-listed Geirangerfjord and the Seven Sisters falls dropping away below. Spectacular and busy in season; mind the coaches on the bends, the cyclists, and the sheer drops.
Eleven hairpins stacked up the mountainside like a folded ribbon, and every one of them hands you a fresh view of the fjord.
