The Skywalk
Dalsnibba is a mountain south of Geiranger, almost 1,500 m high. Nibbevegen, a private toll road, climbs all the way to the summit. From the car park a marked path leads to the Geiranger Skywalk at Dalsnibba, a viewing platform with a glass railing that has stood on the summit since 2016.
From the Skywalk the view reaches across the valley and down to the Geirangerfjord. On the way up you pass Flydalsjuvet on the Fv63; other viewpoints on the roads around the village are described on the Viewpoints page. For a view of the Seven Sisters waterfalls, go to Ørnesvingen on Ørnevegen.
Nibbevegen
Nibbevegen, the toll road up Dalsnibba, leaves the Fv63 at Djupvasshytta. The lodge sits at about 1,030 m by Lake Djupvatnet. The toll road is about 5 km long, climbs 438 m and winds up to the summit in just over a dozen hairpin bends. It was built in 1937-1939.
From Geiranger you first drive 16 km uphill on the Fv63, past Flydalsjuvet to Djupvasshytta, followed by the 5 km on Nibbevegen. In total it is about 21 km from the village centre, a drive of about 30 minutes. How to get to Geiranger is covered under Getting there.
