We will travel through the Jotunheimen National Park with its dramatic alpine peaks, glaciers and waterfalls. The Sognefjell mountain road is a national tourist route and the highest mountain crossing in Northern Europe. In just half an hour our coach will take us on this winding road up to Turtagrø – the birth place of alpine sport in Norway with a splendid view of the Hurrungane massif in Jotunheimen. From here we go on to the highest point of the road, more than 1,400 metres (4,600 feet) above sea level. We will see snowdrifts along the road, even through the summer months. Our guide will tell us more about the scenery, the wildlife and the dramatic history of this unique mountain area. On our way back we will have a short stop at the Åsafossen Waterfall.
This is a driving tour with optional walking at the photo stops. Therefore it is suitable for passengers with limited mobility.
