Sognefjellsvegen - Norway's highest mountain pass

Pibliye: 22.07.2020

I drove about 100 km east, through the town of Lom, which is also known for mountain sports, then I turned towards the Sognefjord. The Sognefjellet is also a tourist road, but the road was much better developed and only open in summer.

It led through spectacular valleys and in the end it went a little through the Jotunheimen National Park, where musk oxen also live, but not in the part that I drove through. Instead, I passed by Galdhøpiggen, the highest mountain in Norway.

And I reached the Sognefjellhytte, which is located at 1440 m, and the lake there was still frozen. Quite unusual for July, some Norwegians were still skiing cross-country there and there were also some snowball fights.

Other mountains over 2000 meters lined the road before slowly returning to the Sognefjord. I passed Breheimen, the home of the glaciers (literally translated).
