Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

The Korsmyra is a revelation.
As you drive in from the North, having taken a twenty minute stop at the heartbreakingly beautiful Eidsvatnet lake, Please remember to stop there and get out of the car and walk walk walk walk.,Then and only then may you drive up through the barren Indreeidsdalen valley and up the last hilly stretch to the Korsmyra.
Korsmyra means the flat area between mountain and valley,, between the Mountain and the magnificent Geiranger fjord valley. The car park is on the South side of the main road so get your boats on,a good warm jacket adn stroill around up here at 640 metres above sea level. (2000 feet ) .
The valley to the east of you ,the Gråsteindalen valley, is accessable by road ,by foot, and of course by local skiers and snow shoe shodded wanderers in the winter .
If you come here in May-October please go to the south western top of the parking spot and look to your right, across the main road. You will see a steep path which will lead you out along the ridge and give you a peaceful and incredible view of the Geiranger fjord and the valley, with the magnificent Mount Dalsnibba throning in the centre of the eastern valley.. Hiking boots are a must, and no noise,no coaches,no cars will be your reward. Enjoy !!

This easy hiking track starts at Korsmyra parking lot, on the road RV63 between Eisdal and Geiranger, more or less at the top of the fjord. It is a huge parking lot with toilets (closed in October when I visited). The track looks like a seldom used road/unpaved track, and is easy accessible. Start: if you look at the sign that mentions several hikes, walk to the left. Or seen from the toilets; walk to the other end of the parking lot (in lenght) and go to the left.
The track offers beautiful views.
I thought Geiranger town was a bit of tourist trap, but visiting Geiranger, made me discover this track. It is another example of the beauty and diversity of Norwegian nature. The first weeks of October was great time to travel Norway, beautiful orange/yellow colours as shown in the foto's and mostly sunny weather (although I may have been lucky with that).

How far is the start from Geiranger village and how long is the track
Written 30 August 2016
From the harbour in Geiranger it is a 6 km walk or drive (Hop On Hop Off ) up to the Eagles Bend at 520 metres altitude and another 600 metres up to Korsmyra plateau at 638 metres above sea level. This is a steep road and you better take water bottles with you There are many goats grazing in these steep fields, so i would not drink the water in the streams.
There are three hikes from the korsmyra plateau;
1.
West and ouwards along the lip of the valley,coming slightly higher on the Eastern wall above the fjord to the abandoned summer grazing HAUGSET. This is an excellent and wide path, a bit wet just now because of the rain but fine,and there are loads of blueberries.
2.
If you have company and are well tuned to mountain walks you should continue out from HAUGSET, rising up to 920 metres before walking down the steep slope into the Gomsdal valley. We do not recommend this for solo walkers.
3.
Go straight East from the Korsmyra plateau on the tractor road and veer North into the magnificent Gråsteindalen valley. (The valley of grey rocks ).
You can follow good paths with a slow rise for about 3 km.
Several small lakes are to be found on the eastern side of the valley
Hiking maps with equidistance 20 metres are available in scale 1:25 000 are available at NOK 200,- in the village supermarket.
