The Seven Sisters (De Syv S\u00f8strene or Dei Sju Systrene, also called Knivsfl\u00e5fossen) is a row of waterfalls on the north side of the Geirangerfjord in Stranda Municipality, in the Sunnm\u00f8re region of M\u00f8re og Romsdal in western Norway, about 6.5 kilometres west of the village of Geiranger and just below the abandoned Knivsfl\u00e5 farm. It is part of the West Norwegian Fjords UNESCO World Heritage Site. The falls drop straight into the fjord, so no road leads to their base: the classic way to see them is from the water, on the Geiranger\u2013Hellesylt car ferry, on a sightseeing boat or by kayak from Geiranger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ce qui fait la renomm\u00e9e des Sept S\u0153urs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The waterfall takes its name from its seven separate streams, which fall side by side down an almost vertical cliff. The total height is about 410 metres, with a free fall of about 250 metres. Directly across the fjord is a single large waterfall called the Suitor (Friaren, also known as Skagefl\u00e5fossen). According to legend the seven sisters were all unmarried: they dance playfully down the mountainside while the Suitor, after several failed attempts to court them, flirts with them from the opposite bank. The abandoned Skagefl\u00e5 farm stands on the Suitor\u2019s side of the fjord and can be reached on foot from Geiranger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quand s'y rendre et conseils pratiques<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

There is no fee to see the waterfall, since it is a natural feature of the fjord; only boat trips and kayak tours are paid. How many streams you can make out depends on snowmelt and rain: the falls are most visible during the main thaw from May to July, and later in the season not all seven are always equally distinct. From the road, look for \u00d8rnesvingen, the viewing platform on the Eagle Road above Geiranger, which looks across the fjord to the Seven Sisters and the Knivsfl\u00e5 farm. On the water, Norway is introducing zero-emission requirements for ships on the World Heritage fjords from 2026, so quiet electric and hybrid boats are becoming the norm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
