📍 Location: From Lærdalsøyri to Aurlandsvangen, Vestland – Norway
📅 Best time to go: June – September (depending on snow conditions)
🚗 Route length: ~47 km

The Aurlandsfjellet Scenic Route is a stunning mountain drive connecting Lærdalsøyri with Aurlandsvangen, offering panoramic fjord views and high-altitude landscapes with snowfields that often linger into summer.

🛣️ Tip: Instead of driving both directions through the Lærdal Tunnel (24.5 km – the longest road tunnel in the world!), consider making a round trip:
Take the tunnel one way, and return via this spectacular scenic route with a stop at the famous Stegastein Viewpoint.

📌 Highlights along the route:

  • Stegastein Viewpoint (650 m above the Aurlandsfjord)

  • Endless snowfields and alpine views

  • Several photo stops along the pass road

🚧 Note: The road is closed in winter and typically opens in early June, depending on snow conditions. Always check road status before your trip!
