Skageflå Farm Hike

The Skageflå hike boasts some of the most stunning vistas of the renowned Geirangerfjord, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Perched 270 meters above the fjord, this old mountain farm offers spectacular views of the Seven Sisters waterfall. It's a unique experience that combines cultural heritage with magnificent panoramas of one of Norway's most beautiful fjords.

Parking: A small parking area (around 10 spaces) is available in the hamlet of Homlong. Indicative cost: NOK 120 in 2025.

Difficulties of the hike

The route follows a well-maintained forest trail that is accessible to most hikers. There are a few steep sections, but no major technical difficulties. The total elevation gain is about 850 meters. Only one section, which is located on the side of a cliff, requires extra caution. This section is short (a few dozen meters) and equipped with a solid handrail for safety.

The path is unmarked but well-signposted from the start and at the few junctions. Despite the growing popularity of Geirangerfjord, this hike retains a natural, unspoiled atmosphere far from Geiranger's sometimes excessive tourist crowds!
