Day 1: Geiranger and Union Hotel
The journey begins in Geiranger at the historic Union Hotel.
Built in 1891, Hotel Union Geiranger has since been expanded with a modern conference area, swimming pool, new top floor with 13 suites, vintage car exhibition, nightclub, spa area, and constantly evolving offerings both inside and outside. The strong Union atmosphere, characterized by quality and service across generations, is still cherished and carried on by today's hosts. Geiranger – a gem on the World Heritage List.
The unique natural surroundings of the Geirangerfjord were created through a series of ice ages when glaciers carved deep fjords between the high mountains. This natural beauty has consistently placed the area on lists of the most spectacular places in the world. Impressive waterfalls, such as the famous Seven Sisters, the Suitor, and the Bridal Veil, cascade into the fjord, enveloped in a delicate mist.
After checking in at Hotel Union Geiranger, take a stroll through the small center consisting of boathouses and old wooden houses. Visit the various small shops and taste Geiranger's own chocolate or other local products.
