It’s renowned as being Norway’s single most dramatic s...
Skageflå farm sits halfway up the cliffs of Geirangerfjord about 9km west of Geiranger town. It’s possible to walk to the farm from the town, which takes over 3 hours. However, there’s a slightly more novel way to make it to the farm: the Geirangerfjord Ferry Service. The Geirangerfjord ferry is a great way to see one of Norway’s most spectacular n...
A clearly marked path rising steeply to our left ascended to a ledge before disappearing from view. So, taking a deep breath we put one foot in front of the other and slowly made our way onwards and upwards as the slippery path clung to the edge of a precipitous slope. It’s a steep climb and a bit slippery in places. Our hands grabbed at the ropes ...
Skageflå is one of a number of mountains farms with a long history in this steep terrain. It was once one of the richest goat farms in Geiranger and was inhabited from the middle ages until 1916 when it was finally abandoned. Located 250 metres above the fjord, and with very limited access, you’ll wonder how they ever built the farm here in the fir...
After looking around the farm we had two choices: head back down to Skagehola and wait for the next ferry back to Geiranger, or continue onwards and upwards, over the cliff tops and back to the town on foot. Being such a gorgeous location, it seemed a waste to not enjoy as much time in it as possible. So, we took off on the path that continued to r...

Jun 25, 2018 · The hiking trail from Skagehola is well marked. It goes pretty much straight up, and it is quite steep.
