Vintage Car Collection a trip down memory lane

Welcome to a trip down memory lane – the 1920s and 1930s to be specific, when cars were not at all common and each and every one of them had class and style.

In Geiranger, cars were used to show the tourists around – many of these cars are still in excellent condition. Our current collection consists of twelve cars, which are available for hire with a chauffeur. You are also welcome to read about the history of the vintage car collection at the exhibition in the hotel.

Four Magical Seasons in beautiful geiranger

The scenery in Geiranger is wild and beautiful regardless of the season.

There isn’t just one magical season in Geiranger. There are four.

19

spring

Cascading Waterfalls overwhelming beauty

When every little corner of Geiranger starts to blossom, and the melting ice creates cascading waterfalls, it is a certain sign that spring has arrived.

21

summer

Breathtaking Scenery where ver you turn

Everything is brighter in the summer. The sky is crystal blue, the grass is even greener than before, and a new adventure awaits you wherever you turn.

23

autumn

Magical Atmosphere a p l ay g r o u n d o f c o l o u r s

When autumn comes with its explosion of colours, you will clearly understand why the fjord has been awarded the UNESCO status.

Each season emerges with a new kind of beauty in Geiranger.

25

winter

Cold Landscape silence and bliss

And then, all is quiet in the village. Time seems to stand still as the marvellous waterfalls freeze to ice and the snow-covered surrounding mountains fill Geiranger with winter peace.

27

Outdoor Activities right on your doorstep

In Geiranger, you will find new adventures waiting for you. When the ice starts to melt in the spring, it is the best time for waterfall walks. The summertime offers many possibilities: biking and walking in the mountains or why not try kayaking on the Geirangerfjord.

Autumn, with its explosion of colour, is perfect for admiring the sights from one of the many viewpoints or beds in the spa. While every season has something special to offer, winter holds the fairy tale - everything is suspended in a white wonderland as you enjoy skiing on one of the many slopes around Geiranger.
