Skageflå
An abandoned mountain farm on a cliff ledge about 250 m above the south shore of the fjord, reachable only by boat and on foot, with a direct view of the Seven Sisters Waterfall.
Skageflå is a typical 'cliff farm' along Geirangerfjord, built on a rock ledge about 250 m above the south shore. People lived here until 1916. Today it is maintained by a conservation group, and its wooden buildings and meadows are well preserved, directly facing the Seven Sisters Waterfall. A common route is to take a RIB speedboat or kayak from Geiranger to the small pier at Skagehola, then climb the steep mountain path to the farm (about 30–45 minutes). From there, cross the mountain via Homlong and hike back to the village (about 4–5 hours in total). It requires a reasonable level of fitness and is slippery in rain.
