Geirangerfjord, Norway for MSFS2024

The Geiranger Fjord (Norwegian: Geirangerfjorden) is a fjord located in the Sunnmøre region of Møre og Romsdal county, Norway. It lies entirely within the Stranda Municipality and extends 15 kilometers (9.5 miles) as a branch off the Sunnylvsfjorden, which itself is a branch of the Storfjorden (Great Fjord). At the fjord's end, where the Geirangelva river flows into it, is the small village of Geiranger.

Surrounded by some of the steepest mountains on Norway's west coast, the fjord is very narrow with no habitable shore area. The precipitous heights rise almost vertically from the water, with rugged strata and foaming waterfalls cascading from jagged peaks. Despite the challenging terrain, a few mountain farms exist here. Some of these farms are accessible only by hazardous paths winding around steep precipices and bridges anchored to the mountain with iron bolts and rings, showcasing the remarkable ingenuity developed in response to nature's challenges.

The two most notable waterfalls in the Geiranger Fjord are the Seven Sisters Falls and the Suitor (Nynorsk: Friaren). These falls face each other across the fjord, with the Suitor said to be wooing the sisters opposite. Another waterfall, the Bridal Veil, is named for its delicate descent over a rocky edge, appearing like a thin veil when backlit by the sun.
