From Art Nouveau Ålesund it's a couple of hours to the most famous fjord in Norway. Drop to Geiranger past the Seven Sisters waterfall, ride up the Ørnesvingen 'Eagle Road' hairpins for the classic view down the fjord, and, with time, take the Eidsdal ferry and the Trollstigen on a longer loop. A fjord cruise from Geiranger pairs perfectly.
