説明

Enjoy stunning scenery and get a glimpse of Norwegian rural life on this tour that travels inland to visit western Norway’s farm country. Tendering ashore, you’ll get a close-up look at tiny Geiranger village, then board your coach to begin ascending aptly-named “Eagle’s Road” – 11 thrilling hairpin bends with a stop en route to savor jaw-dropping views of the famous Seven Sisters waterfalls and your ship anchored far below. Reaching the road’s top, and series of high green valleys and snowy peaks leads to the village of Eidsdal on the Storfjord. Here, you’ll make your way to one of the rustic summer mountain farms that operate in the area: Herdalsetra. Until 1960, Herdalsetra and its 30 turf-roofed wooden houses sitting some 1500 feet above sea level were without a road connection in winter. Built on a safe spot away from the annual avalanches, the farm is home to 450 goats as well as cows, sheep and Norwegian ponies. During your guided tour, you’ll be introduced to the people who work here as well as sampling some of the goat cheeses produced on the farm. You might even make fast friends with one of the hoofed inhabitants.
