What you'll do
This route takes you from the winter classic Hemsedal, through Aurland, Stryn, and Sunnmøre, before ending in Romsdalen. You generally don’t need to worry about closed mountain passes here, but the road may close during bad weather conditions, so keep an eye on vegvesen.no.
PS! Of course, you can bring skis—such as alpine touring, mountain, or cross-country skis—or even snowshoes. This will make nature a bit more accessible.
Safe travels!
Day 1
Hemsedal
Sightseeing
Ski paradise
Hemsedal, a winter paradise nestled between Oslo and Bergen, offers the ultimate ski experience with its vast slopes, snow parks, and off-piste terrain. Beyond skiing, you can enjoy husky sledding, ski touring, and cross-country trails :) The perfect stop if you're driving from the east to the west, or opposite.
Fýri Resort
hotel
Mountain retreat
Probably my favorite hotel in Norway. Fyri is a very exotic, dark and calm hotel with really good food and a spa. Not very typical Norwegian and it really stands out - but in a good way. The perfect place for a winter getaway while you explore Hemsedal.
Rjukandefoss
Fotospot
Waterfall in Hemsedal
Rjukandefossen is a stunning waterfall located in Hemsedal, and it's even cooler all frozen. Maybe my favorite waterfall in Norway, and I always stop by when I'm in the area. It only take you 5 minutes to walk from the parking lot, so there's no reason to not take a pit stop here.
Skarsnuten Mountain Resort&SPA
hotel
Luxurious mountain retreat with spa
The best view in Hemsedal! Skarsnuten Mountain Resort & Spa is a cozy boutique hotel perched at 1000 meters altitude in Hemsedal, Norway, offering stunning panoramic views of the surrounding mountains. With 37 rooms, a bar, restaurant, spa facilities and ski-in/ski-out access.
