The Waterfall Trail leads from the town center along the Geiranger River to the Norwegian Fjord Center. Along the way, you'll explore two old hydroelectric power stations and gain insight into how early pioneers in the village saw opportunities to harness the water and generate hydropower. This is one of the lesser-known aspects of Geiranger! Storfossen (literally "The Great Waterfall") is the biggest attraction on the trail. This river and waterfall change with the seasons, offering different experiences throughout the year. In spring, the snow melts, and the river is large and intimidating. You can even hear the rocks in the river being moved by the water when the river is rough and wild. The power of the water is tremendous and can be dangerous, so it's very important to show great respect for the rivers and waterfalls. In winter, the river is frozen, and during the so-called "blue hour," being here is a magical experience. The Waterfall Trail itself has 326 steps and is approximately 0.9 km long. Large sections of the hike are fenced, and you may also observe plants, animals, and birds that live near the river. The hike is led by a "Fjord Ranger" who has extensive knowledge of the rivers, waterfalls, and fjord in Geiranger. The tour ends at the Norwegian Fjord Center, where you can enjoy the museum's exhibits.

Information about Geiranger: A church probably existed in Geiranger as early as 1450, but the current church building dates from 1842. Traffic to and from Geiranger was originally largely carried out by water. However, as early as the 15th century, a mountain road existed from Geiranger to Lom during the summer months. By the 1850s, trade along the route had increased significantly. For example, pickle, birch bark, falcons, grain, leather, and tar were delivered from Lom to Geiranger. In return, iron, fish (especially herring), salt, and textiles were transported towards Lom.[1] The D/S Sunnmöre was the first steamship to reach Geiranger in 1858. In 1867, Martinus K. Maråk opened the first inn in Geiranger. A frequent guest here was Hans Hagerup Krag, who made a significant contribution to Norwegian road construction. Tourism, which was important for the town, began in 1869. In 1880, Krag proposed building the road from Geiranger up to Dalsnibba, particularly to further develop tourism. Work on the Geiranger Road began on November 29, 1881, and the Knuten Road was completed in 1882. The Geiranger Road was inaugurated on August 15, 1889, but the Nibbevegen road to Dalsnibba was not built until the 1930s. Parallel to the construction of the Geiranger Road, the harbor was expanded in 1885 to provide better mooring options for steamships.[2] N.P. Veiberg also built the Geiranger Hotell in 1884.[3] The Union Hotel followed in 1891.[4] From the 1890s onward, the German Emperor Wilhelm II visited Geiranger several times until 1914.

Nice tour, unfortunately the path under the waterfall is currently closed (August 24)

A relatively challenging climb, but once you reach the top you'll be rewarded for everything. You should definitely do it.

The climb is quite challenging, but once you reach the top you are rewarded with a fabulous natural spectacle and a breathtaking view. It is definitely worth it.

Please make sure you wear sturdy footwear (hiking boots, etc.) and bring a bottle of water with you. The elevation gain should not be underestimated either; plan your time accordingly.

Ascent to the starting point approx. 250 meters in altitude and further to the waterfall a total of 500 meters in altitude over 4 km!

Great hiking trail to Storsaeterfossen. Once at the top, you will be rewarded with a visit behind the waterfall.
