The waterfall is located along the Geirangerfjorden in Stranda Municipality in Møre og Romsdal county, Norway.

It is part of the West Norwegian Fjords World Heritage Site.

Name

"The Seven Sisters" ( or ) is located on the northern side of Geirangerfjorden, and directly across the fjord lies a single waterfall called "The Suitor" (). The legend of the seven sisters is that they dance playfully down the mountain. Meanwhile, across the fjord, the suitor (or courter) flirts playfully with them from afar.
