The first breath of the trip arrives on the road—pine woods giving way to open valleys as the minivan climbs toward the highlands. By late afternoon the Geirangerfjord opens like a slow, deep gulf, cliffs dropping sheer into water streaked with waterfall threads. The guide finds a ledge with a front‑row view and straps up hammocks that swing gently over the fjord; the wind below seems to whisper through the rigging, daring you to stay awake until the stars.
