Mountain Roads In The Norway Fjords
Getting from here-to-there in Norway is like nowhere else in the world. Over, under, though, or around . . . the road-builder have conquered every obstacle. The truly breath-taking mountain roads in the Norway fjords deliver some of the premiere driving experience in Norway, and the world. Stunning scenery appears at every turn.

Aursjovegen
Gamle Strynefellsvegen
Road to Lysebotn
Trollstigen
The Panorama Road
Road to VIk
From Sunndalsora to Eiksdalvatnet/Mardlasfossen . . . Aursjovegen is a premier back-road summit drive. The fjord valleys of Litdalen (behind Sunndalsfjord) and Finnset (shown here) are simply stunning. Some fo the best viewpoints in Norway. The long summit area is a great representation of high-alpine, lake studded, stark environment. Aursjovegen is a must-drive.
Geiranger to Stryn . . . Gamle Strynefellsvegen sits amongst some of the premier country in The Northern Fjords, with the phenomenal Geiranger fjords to the North, and the inspiring Jostalbreen glaciers and aqua-marine lakes to the East. Viewpoint on the road down to Stryn (shown here) is excellent.
Inland Norway to Lysefjord . . . The road to Lysebotn is a breath-taking start to the Norway fjord country. The road itself has a stark, moonscape like long summit area. The descent into Lysebotn, however, is the surreal part. Marked by over 20 hairpin turns, the road is an engineering marvel.
Voss/Vinja to Vik . . . The road to Vik is a nice mountain road with two main highlights. Climbing the wall up to the summit is pure back-and-foth zig-zagging at its best . . . with an excellent view back over the valley from the top. Towards the end of the road, great vistas down into Vik and the surrounding valleys (shown here).
Along Nordfjord . . . Running from Fariedfjord, past Innvikfjord, to Utfjord and Nordfjord, The Panorama Road is a special experience. Running so high along the fjord sides, great vistas really do exist around every corner
Andalsnes to Valldal to Geiranger . . . The Troll's Road (Trollstigen) is an engineering gem. The premiere part of the drive is at the very beginning out of Andalsnes up to the summit. Zig-zags up the wall and around the Stigfossen waterfall is a unique experience. Though somewhat over-touristed at times, this is still not to be missed.
From Laerdal to Aurland . . . Aurlandsvegen is unparalleled. Sitting atop the world's longest road tunnel (Laerdal Tunnel), it is no wonder that the scenery is so steep and magical.
