A disappointing experience to me, short story: I paid for the ticket and ended up having to give it up. Long story: I bought online ticket per their website's recommendation because they said that the toll machine, from which you buy ticket on the spot, can have long waiting during high season. When we arrived at the entrance, it turned out there was 1 lane only (with barrier) as 1st come 1st serve basis. So cars with online tickets (like me) still have to queue and wait for the cars before to finish their payment at the toll machine, scan their ticket to open the barrier. Both toll machine and scan reader are next to each other at the entrance (similar as old fashioned parking hall before we had plate-reading-camera) So there is zero benefit of buying online ticket, everyone has to wait. When I arrived there were 10 cars before me but it took over 5 minutes for 1 car proceeding, can be technical error from the toll machine because people seemed struggling with that. There was no staff, only 1 paper with handwriting sticking on the toll booth telling people to call a number for assistance. I tried that number 2 times but just got automatic response and the line hung up on me. We were in the middle of the highland with could be easily 60 minute-waiting time, and we need to catch a ferry in few hours later, that's why we decided to leave the queue and went away, as many cars did the same. My advice: please do not buy ticket online, there is no benefit in that vs. buying at the toll machine at the entrance. 2nd advice: you can continue driving toward Geirenger-Linge and there will be 2 or more view points (for ex Flydalsjuvet) which may be just beautiful, looking down the whole area, yes not as high as this one but they don't cost 330nok ;). That was what I did after giving up the line. Additionally, I bought ticket on 21.7 (today) but the calendar from their website greyed out today and sort of only allowed tomorrow 22.7 - this is also my fault as I did not notice the wrong date until looking at the ticket after. I tried to call them asking if date can be changed but as mentioned above, 2 attempts were made and failed. Personally this looks like a trap to me, I did not expect this in Norway. I have had excellent experience elsewhere, such as Tromso, Lofoten, Oslo, Bergen, Flåm etc. Edited: added picture with the other view point - Flydalsjuvet.

Fantastic Viewpoint if the weather is clear (which luckily for us it was). Went up as part of a 3hr coach trip from Geiranger (cruise with Princess). Didn't have too long to spend, but even with a 15 minute stop it was worth every second. There are washroom facilities in the large(ish) car park. Please bear in mind this is a private road with a fee payable to access (our coach driver advised a car would pay around £30. If driving yourself up from Geiranger, allow around 45 minutes by car, and be prepared to stop to allow coaches to turn on the many hairpin bends (so good observation and anticipation is required).

Had to pay to enter -- but the views are worth it. The road up was a little tricky with the buses, but the drivers know what they are doing, so no issues there. Once you are parked (ample parking in early June) -- remember to strap down your gear because it is windy! Said wind is also biting, so remember a wind breaker or warm coat. The views, though, they speak for themselves. I know the pictures I add are just a drop in the ocean of pictures, but trust me -- it looks better in person. This is a must do for anyone visiting Geiranger! (Oh also there is a cool blue lake behind the lookout on the way back down!)

Even though I prefer to hike mountains, I love Dalsnibba. This is a way to get a mountain top for those with mobility difficulties or if there isn't enough time to go hiking. The plateau is well built and has a spectacular view. The grid, showing that you are in mid air, is a cool extra effect. The small shop is extremely touristy, but it gives you a couple of good things, and some drinks and snacks if needed. There are restrooms and ample parking. The drive up is also a nice experience. If you struggle with vertigo, you might want to stay on the concrete part.

It is stunning up there and the street in good shape. Toilet facilities are modern and clean. We went up there at 5pm to spend the night. Unfortunately, we were told to leave the place and go back down at 1745h. The ladies working there explained that during off-season noone is allowed to stay overnight due to weather. We had wished to get an info while purchasing the ticket for the street at the machine. So if you plan to come here make sure you have enough time before closing. Recommended 😎

The Dalsnibba Observatory is very beautiful. If you look at the strait from a high place, you can see a magnificent view of the peacefulness of a small village where people live and the mountains and seas spread out in front of it. If you travel to the fjord, don't miss it and it's a must-see place. When I went down from the observation place, it was midsummer, so the brakes overheated due to the steep zigzag downhill, so I had to stop the car once and rest. You will never be disappointed.
