Hellesylt

Welcome to Hellesylt which is the gateway to the UNESCO world heritage fjord, Geirangerfjord and the gateway to the spectacular Sunnmøre Alps, from behind which the beautiful Sunnmøre coastline will reveal itself to you. The little village has perhaps undeservedly found itself somewhat in the shadow of Geiranger. But despite that, there are few places in the country that can showcase such spectacular surroundings. Just look at the beautiful waterfall that cascades down right into the centre of the village, and which is often surrounded by stunned tourists taking pictures, in fact it is perhaps one of the most photographed sights in Norway. The lush valleys on the approach to the village are home to the vibrant Sunnmøre farming community, and inspired Henrik Ibsen, when he wrote the world famous, Peer Gynt. Expectant adventurers often use beautiful Hellesylt as their starting point for exciting adventures on the water or in the mountains. Many are drawn to the beautiful Norangsdalen, which is also known as ‘Dronningruta’ (The Queen’s route), presumably because 7 of Europe’s beautiful Queens have taken a trip over it.
