Union Geiranger Hotel
The Hotel Union Geiranger is a historic hotel overlooking the Geiranger Fjord, surrounded by dramatic mountains and waterfalls. It was built in 1891 as a wooden structure inspired by Swiss and traditional dragon styles typical of Norway. In 1899, it was acquired by the Mjelva family, who have managed it for generations while promoting regional tourism. Throughout the 20th century, the hotel was expanded and modernized, and the original wooden structure was removed in 1979. Today, it blends heritage with modern comfort, featuring a spa, vintage car museum, and contemporary facilities.

SkageflƄ farm
The SkageflƄ farm is a historic mountain settlement perched on a narrow ledge about 250 m above the Geirangerfjord. Inhabited since the Middle Ages and recorded in the 17th century, it was once among the richest farms, sustaining goats, cattle, and hay production. Harsh isolation and frequent landslides led to its abandonment in 1916. Surrounded by waterfalls and steep cliffs, it lies within a humid alpine ecosystem where grasslands, birdlife, and hardy vegetation illustrate both human resilience and natural adaptation to extreme environments.
