Introduction

The Eagle Road, also known as Ørnevegen, is a road located between Geiranger and Eidsdal, famous for its 11 consecutive hairpin bends. The highest point of the road is the Eagle's Bend (Ørnesvingen), which is 620 meters above sea level and a frequent gathering place for eagles. The road is open year-round and offers several viewpoints such as Flydalsjuvet, Ørnesvingen, and Gudbrandsjuvet, from which you can enjoy the beautiful views of the fjords. From June 21 to August 31, you can take a bus operated by Fjord1 from Ålesund to Ondalsnes, passing through the town of Geiranger. The Elf Road is ideal for a self-driving trip, and if you have time, you can choose to stay overnight in a guesthouse on the mountainside and enjoy a peaceful night.
