A fifteen kilometre branch of the Storfjord system, UNESCO listed in 2005, with walls of up to 1,400 metres coming down almost sheer to green meltwater. Waterfalls drop directly into it from both sides and abandoned farms sit on ledges partway up. The Geiranger to Hellesylt car ferry crosses it in about an hour and is the cheapest sightseeing boat in Norway, since it is simply the local bus.
It only reads properly from the water or from the Ørnesvingen bend above the village; the road viewpoints frame it, but the ledge farms and the Seven Sisters falls only resolve to scale from deck height.
North from the Sognefjord, a long bus day, is the Geirangerfjord, the one on the brochures, and in July the most crowded water in fjord Norway. The counter is simple: sleep in Geiranger and take the first ferry of the morning down the fjord's length toward Hellesylt, before the sightseeing traffic starts. The Seven Sisters drop in a thin white row down the north wall; across the water the abandoned farm at Skageflå holds its shelf 250 metres up, reached once by ladders the family is said to have hauled up when the tax collector was due, and reached today by boat drop-off and a steep climb.
