The Most Popular Roadtrips Round Norway

The beautiful Åndalsnes lies on a sandbank where Rauma meets Romsdalsfjorden. For anyone who enjoys summit hikes, this is the place to visit for both inspiration and tour suggestions. Tindemuseet (the Peak Museum) also points you in the right direction to the most beautiful mountains, whether you want to see them up close or from a distance. Romsdalen is so full of mountain experiences that it's hard to name them all, but if you haven't tried Via Ferrata before, this is one of the best places to do just that. The view from here is second to none!

Even though Norddal is only small, it has plenty of big things about it. There's something magical about the light, the air and the people here. If you come here for a drive, there's a lot to see before you stop for a break in the village centre. And after your break, you'll want to quickly get behind the wheel again to ensure you get to see the airy view of the fjord. The road up the mountain hasn't got any hairpin bends, so there are plenty of photo opportunities en route.

The highest mountain pass in Norway runs between Luster and Lom. Sognefjellet has a lot to offer when it comes to natural splendour, and the idyllic mountain peaks can seem almost trivially low once you get up high. But don't be fooled. The tourist road over Sognefjellet can be a real challenge even for experienced motorists, especially those who venture here in winter. At this time of year, expect temporary closures and column driving, so check the radio and weather reports before setting off.

Ørneveien is the name of the first stretch of route 63 between Geiranger and Eidsdal, and climbs steeply up the mountainside for almost a mile. When you reach the top, you get a view over the fjord from the Ørnesvingen vantage point. This construction is like an airy shelf high above the water. Forget your phone or camera here and you'll regret it for the rest of your holiday If you remember to bring your camera (well done!), this is your chance to really make use of your zoom function. The view extends down to the village, but also far beyond the beautiful Geirangerfjord.

Add to this some of the most windswept and extraordinary coastal landscape we have in Norway (and that's really saying something), and what you end up with is a drive that has won the praise of multiple travel guides around the world.

Deep in the Varangerfjord lies Varangerbotn, the gateway to one of the most talked about and mythical national parks Norway has to offer. The Varanger Peninsula is vast and peppered with nature experiences, midnight sun and life-affirming beauty. The road out on the north side of the fjord - and the south side of the national park - takes you past both Nesseby and Vadsø. These are towns with a historical base, but with plenty of modern facilities. Although snow fans have activities to keep them busy from morning till night in winter, many also come here in summer, lured by the perpetual light of the midnight sun.
