Who are the Fjord Rangers ?
Fjord Rangers are storytellers, and interpreters of nature and culture. As ambassadors for Geirangerfjord’s UNESCO World Heritage, they share knowledge, and inspire care for both nature and people. With knowledge rooted in nature, culture, and local traditions, the Rangers create meaningful experiences that connect visitors to the fjord’s past and present — turning science and tradition into engaging stories everyone can enjoy. Look for the hats, and you’ll find them ready to share their stories and bring you into the authentic fjord landscape.
All Fjord Rangers are authorized by the World Heritage Visitor Centre.

Fjord Ranger Onboard
Sail through the fjords with a Fjord Ranger onboard and uncover the stories behind the World Heritage landscape:
From dramatic scenery and active geology to wildlife, nature, and the lives of people who have settled down here. The Rangers turn every journey into a living narrative. Their presence makes the voyage more than transport — it becomes an encounter with history, culture, and nature. They are also available throughout the trip for questions and interaction.
On every journey, the Fjord Rangers bring their tools, and you can explore, touch, read and study closer: our nature box, pelts, rocks and different props that offer deeper insight into the area and our heritage.
If you are a tour operator and would like to request a Ranger Onboard, please send your inquiry to post@verdsarvfjord.no

Fjord Ranger Waterfall Walk
Join a Fjord Ranger in Geiranger’s centre, walk past the old boat houses, and continue along the waterfall steps to experience how geology and culture are woven together in the fjord landscape. Discover how rushing water and glaciers shaped the rocks and cliffs, and how generations of people lived, worked, and adapted to the dramatic fjord landscape. Through stories and insights, the Ranger turns the walk into a journey through both natural forces and human heritage.
The tour ends at the World Heritage Visitor Centre, and entrance to the unique exhibitions are included in the hike.

The camp offers a mix of play, learning, and discovery, and gives you a chance to discover Geirangerfjord’s nature in a fun and meaningful way. A memorable adventure for children, families, and the young at heart.
