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!
