What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Visitors consistently praise the absolutely breathtaking views from Geiranger Skywalk Dalsnibba, calling it a 'skyrocketing location' and 'world's finest view.' The dramatic drive up the winding mountain road is also a highlight. However, the experience is heavily weather-dependent, and the toll fee can be considered expensive by some.
"Expensive but worth it. You pay at a kiosk at the bottom. Very steep road up, surrounded by snow capped mountains. Check the weather first. We were lucky and got up to the top to get some views before the rain and cloud came in. Those arriving after us would not have been able to see anything. The weather can change quickly. It was scary starting the descent with very little visibility !"

"Truly a skyrocketing location! The car would drive a long zigzag road before reaching the summit which is at 1500 meters elevation above sea level. The road is a single lane in both sides but overall is good. Driving from Geiranger to the Skywalk passes by several breakthrough views and very enjoyable. The access fee for the car to the summit is 350 NOK. There is a shop selling souvenirs and coffee at the top."
Mohammed Ibrahim
"Absolutely breathtaking views. Tickets are bought at the barriers before driving the bends to the top. It is much colder and windy at the top, you're in snow country, pretty much on top of the mountains. The view over Geiranger, when cloud breaks allow, blows you away. If there are cruise and coach parties there, wait a few minutes and they'll go, they don't hang around. You'll have the best views to yourself. Walking to the left side overlooking Geiranger, the solid floor changes to sturdy metal grids. Watching meltwater and snow fly upwards from the updraft was fascinating. The drop below the grid was impressive. This whole road is closed over winter and weather dependent as to when it opens. Check online before committing to the journey. Costs around £25 for a car, we thought it was worth it."
