Flydalsjuvet
A cliff viewpoint about 4 km above Geiranger village, home to the classic shot of standing on a rock ledge overlooking the fjord and cruise ships.
The Flydalsjuvet viewpoint lies beside Route 63, the road from Geiranger village to Dalsnibba. A rock jutting out over the cliff, known as the Queen’s Chair, is Geiranger’s most famous photo spot, with cliffs in the foreground and the winding fjord and moored cruise ships behind. There is now an accessible lookout, a car park and toilets, and entry is free. It is about 10 minutes’ drive from the village, or you can hike up a trail in about an hour. Take care when standing on the rock for photos, and do not climb over the railing.
