Cabins - bungalows and camping in Geiranger

Visiting Geiranger in April and May:

Maybe the best time of year to visit Geiranger is from the end of April until the beginning of June: you can experience both the winter and the spring at the same time. Up in the mountain tops there are still lots of snow while the first warmth has made the scenery down by the fjord green and the waterfalls are growing bigger day by day. It is a quiet time of year. Not too many tourists, the fruit trees blossoms and the birds have returned from the south. However: April can be a month with big contrasts in the weather. There are no guarantee that it will be as warm as in June and July. So just in case: take also some warm clothes with you.....

The reception hasn't regularly opening times before 1st of May, but it is possible to rent cabins from friday the 18th of April 2008 if you make a booking.

The Geiranger Fjord, 29th of April 2007:

About the roads: There are three ways to get to Geiranger:

1. From the east: The road from Grotli and Langevatn to Geiranger.
This is a touristic road going high up in the mountains (up to 1030 meters). Because there are still a lot of snow in the mountains in the spring, the road from Langevatn to Geiranger will not open before in the middle of May. If you are going to Geiranger in the middle of May, please call us some days before you arrive to check if this road is open.

2. From the north: The main roads: a) from Eidsdal to Geiranger. b) from Eidsdal to Ålesund. c) from Ålesund to Åndalsnes (E136). All these roads are open all year.
However: there is a small touristic road called The Trollstigen road which goes from Åndalsnes to Valldal/Eidsdal which is closed during the winter. this road opens in the end of May. Before this time you have to use the main roads.

Special information for people who travels by bus and train/plain: If you plan to take the train from Oslo to Åndalsnes there will not be any direct bus to Geiranger before the 15th of June. Then you have to take the bus towards Ålesund and then change bus Sjøholt. But remember: outside the high season (before 10th of June) there are only three bus departures for Geiranger each day.

3. The ferry on the Geirangerfjord.
The ferry from Hellesylt to Geiranger is a car ferry which start its trips on the 1st of May.
 

Going from Oslo to Geiranger before the 1st of May:

If you want to go to Geiranger before the 1st of May and are coming from Oslo, the best way is to take the EV 6 from Oslo to Lillehammer, Otta and Dombås.
Then turn left on the E136 passing Åndalsnes, Vestnes to Sjøholt. Here you turn left and take the car ferry to Eidsdal (time: 10 minuttes leaving quite frequently until 11.00 in the evening). The trip from Oslo to Geiranger will take about 10 hours by private car.

Going from Oslo to Geiranger between 1st of May and 20th-25th of May:

The road from Geiranger to Langevatn/Grotli normally opens around 20th to 25th of May (some years earlier, some years later, depending of how much snow there are in the mountains).
Before this time, the fastest way from Oslo to Geiranger is to take the E6 from Oslo to Otta, then turn left to Vågåmo, Lom, Grotli and Stryn. You drive then to Hellesylt and take the ferry to Geiranger. The trip from Oslo to Geiranger will then take about 8-9 hours.
