In-Depth Information
Bengt Dahlberg's scented trail can reach as far as the dock as he handcrafts his wares in a
basement of an old boathouse. Follow your nose and pick up a selection of his inspired
work, including truffles flavoured with brown cheese or filled with cloudberry, or go for
instant gratification in the form of ice cream or hot chocolate.
Out of season, if the shop's closed, pop downstairs and knock.

Getting There & Away
BOAT
The popular, hugely recommended run between Geiranger and Hellesylt (car with driver
Nkr320, adult/child single Nkr160/79, return Nkr215/115; one hour) is quite the most
spectacular scheduled ferry route in Norway. It has four to eight sailings daily from May to
September (every 90 minutes until 6.30pm, June to August).
Almost as scenic is the ferry that runs twice daily between Geiranger and Valldal (adult/
child single Nkr240/130, return Nkr370/190, 2¼ hours). A mini-cruise in itself, it runs
from mid-June to mid-August.
From mid-April to mid-October, the Hurtigruten coastal ferry makes a detour from Åle-
sund (departs 9.30am) to Geiranger (departs 1.30pm) on its northbound run.
BUS
From mid-June to mid-August two buses daily make the spectacular run over Trollstigen
to Åndalsnes (Nkr265, three hours) via Valldal (Nkr85, 1½ hours). For Molde, change
buses in Åndalsnes; for Ålesund, change at Linge.
