Dalsnibba Utsiktspunkt — Attraction in Stranda

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 -...

The Dalsnibba Mountain Plateau viewpoint is pretty damn awesome in good weather as you watch from 1500m down to the Geiranger Fjord at sea level. The road up is good and fun, there are some nice hairpin turns and relatively few traffic. The "binoculars" up there are for free once you're up. The skywalk (a viewpoint platform hanging over the edge) is also quite impressive, even though it is with metal grating so you can't really look through. I'd prefer glass. However, the entry is darn expensive. As of July 2019 it costs 150 NOK (15€) per vehicle (car/motorhome/motorcycle) or 1800 NOK for a bus. So we were stopping on the nearby free parking spot and then just took one motorbike up there. in July 2019 there was a big construction site, it looks like they're building a restaurant or café up there. Maybe the entrance fee will drop once this is up and running, who knows. Right now I think it's okay to have done it but I'll not come again. Just for the ride, it's not worth it. Just take the (free) road down to Geiranger.

Der Dalsnibba Aussichtspunkt ermöglicht einen grandiosen Ausblick (bei gutem Wetter) über die Geiranger Fjord und die umliegenden Berge. Man schaut aus etwa 1500m bis auf den Fjord (Meereshöhe) runter. Die Straße, die hier hoch führt is in gutem Zustand und macht Spaß, sind ein paar schöne Haarnadelkurven dabei und relativ wenig Verkehr. Die Ferngläser oben sind "kostenlos". Der Skywalk (eine überhängende Aussichtsplattform) ist auch recht beeindruckend, allerdings besteht der aus Metall-Gitterrost Platten, sodass man da kaum Bilder durch machen kann. Glas wäre da irgendwie besser gewesen. Aber der Eintritt ist ziemlich teuer. Es kostet 150 NOK pro Fahrzeug (egal ob Wohnmobil, Auto oder Motorrad) bzw. 1800 NOK pro Bus. Wir haben also auf einem Parkplatz in der Nähe geparkt und sind nur mit einem Motorrad hoch. Im Juli 2019 war oben eine große Baustelle, das sah irgendwie so aus, als ob die da ein Restaurant oder Café oder so bauen. Vielleicht wird der "Eintritt" dann günstiger. Ich bin froh, dass wir mal da waren, würde aber nicht nochmal hoch. Nur für die Fahrt lohnt es sich nicht, da würde ich lieber die kostenlose Straße zum Geiranger...

My visit to the Dalsnibba Viewpoint was truly a remarkable experience and easily one of the most memorable moments of my trip through Norway. The panoramic views from the top were absolutely stunning—so vast and dramatic that it almost felt surreal. From this elevated vantage point, you can see deep into the Geirangerfjord valley and across rugged, snow-capped peaks, offering a perspective that captures the sheer majesty of Norway’s natural landscape.

One of the most unique and surprising parts of the visit was getting to experience snow in the middle of summer. Being able to touch fresh snow and even witness a gentle snowfall while surrounded by greenery below was an unexpected and magical contrast.

The gift shop and café at the summit were a welcome surprise as well. I had the chance to try one of their Finnomin rolls, and it was excellent—fresh, flavorful, and perfect with a hot drink while enjoying the chilly mountain air.

Dalsnibba combines the thrill of high-altitude views with a touch of cozy hospitality, making it a must-visit for anyone exploring the region. It’s a place where you can truly feel on top...
