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!
