Operated by Fjord Guiding AS · Geiranger, Møre og Romsdal
Located in the heart of Norway’s famous fjord region, Geiranger is a gateway to some of the most dramatic natural landscapes in Møre og Romsdal county. Fjord Guiding AS offers an invigorating high-speed boat transfer from Maråkvegen 35 in Geiranger to Skagehola, an ideal launch point for the Skageflå hike. The swift, 15-minute ride aboard a stable RIB boat cuts through the deep blue waters of the fjord, delivering travelers directly to the steep cliffs and cascading waterfalls that define this UNESCO World Heritage site.
Skageflå is among Geirangerfjord’s iconic mountain farms, perched high above the fjord in an area shaped by glacial erosion and steep rock faces of ancient gneiss. The trail from Skagehola to the farm takes approximately 45 minutes, winding through patchy birch and pine forests, tussock meadows, and angled cliff edges with panoramic views of the fjord below. This hike offers a rare combination of invigorating exercise, geological intrigue, and cultural history—the farm itself is a preserved relic showcasing rural Norwegian mountain life centuries ago.
Fjord Guiding AS stands out in this rugged landscape for its reliable hourly service during summer months, making it straightforward to connect boat transport with the hiking trail. The company accommodates dogs on board, encouraging visitors to bring their four-legged companions along for the adventure. With a dedicated focus on safety, comfort, and seamless guest service, Fjord Guiding AS enhances outdoor access to this remarkable corner of Norway.
Travelers often pair the boat and hike with stays in Geiranger village, which offers charming local eateries, visitor centers, and a chance to experience fjord-side life. Whether you’re looking for a half-day thrill or a full mountain experience, Fjord Guiding AS provides a practical, scenic entry to one of Scandinavia’s most celebrated hiking spots.
