About
The Seven Sisters Waterfall, known in Norwegian as De Syv Søstrene or Syv Søstre, lies near Geiranger in Møre og Romsdal, Norway. It is made up of seven separate streams that fall about 250 metres down the mountainside into Geirangerfjord, and it is one of the country's best-known and most photographed waterfalls.
What to expect
- The view: Seven distinct streams run side by side, so the falls read as a group rather than a single cascade.
- The setting: The waterfall drops straight towards the fjord, and the steep slopes around it give a strong sense of the landscape's scale.
- The name: You may see it listed as De Syv Søstrene or Syv Søstre, both of which refer to the same falls.
Visiting Geiranger
The falls are in Geiranger, a small village at the head of Geirangerfjord, so a visit fits naturally into a wider trip to the area. Fjord scenery, waterfalls and mountain roads are the main draw here. If you plan to go, check the local address (Geiranger, 6216) and the contact number, +47 70 26 30 99, for current information before you travel.
Most visitors come to see the falls and the fjord together, taking time to look across the water and to photograph the streams as they fall. Allow time for the views rather than treating it as a quick stop.
