Brimiland - Blåhø

From Fossheim hotel, the tour starts on route 15 in the direction of Vågå.
After 5 minutes on the asphalt, turn left towards Liabrue and then right onto Kollavegen, a narrow gravel road that winds down alongside the Ottawa River.
This is an old-fashioned gravel road with mossy stones and handmade retaining walls.
When the gravel road turns to asphalt, you’re approaching Garmo and here you’ll once again turn onto route 15 towards Vågå.
Now you have to be careful, because after about a kilometer you have to turn right, up Kleppdalsvegen.
This is poorly signposted!
Kleppdalsvegen is a toll road, and there is an information board by the road.
For the next 10 km, the road climbs 500 meters up to Brimiland.
Here you pass Vianvang, Brimi Fjellstue and Brimi sæter.
The latter two are ideal for a coffee stop.
From Brimi Sæter, the gravel road continues into the mountains alongside Lake Tesse.
You are now on a new toll road and there is also an information board by the road.
When you reach the end of Tesse, the road splits.
Keep to the left on Fuglesætervegen and continue until you reach Randsverk.
In Randsverk, turn left onto rv 51.
Then turn right towards Heidal on fv 257.
From Randsverk you get a few kilometers of asphalt down to Heidal.
If you want a coffee stop here, we recommend Heidal Ysteri, which has its own café with fantastic baked goods.
From Heidal, the road continues on highway 456 towards Lalm.
Here you’ll find a good stretch of gravel road over Heidalskogen and through the bends down towards Lalm.
When you get down to Lalm, the gravel road becomes asphalt again and you drive over the bridge over Ottaelva and then turn left onto rv 15 towards Vågå.
In Vågå, you must enter the city center and at the intersection by the hotel, follow the well-signposted road up towards Blåhø.
The asphalt eventually turns into a toll road that takes you up over the tree line and into Jettfjellet to the Blåhø mountain peak at 1617 meters above sea level.
From here, you’ll enjoy beautiful panoramic views of Jotunheimen, Reinheimen, Rondane and Dovrefjell.
The return trip follows the same route back down to the city center.
We recommend a stop at one of Vågå’s excellent cafés and restaurants before taking the last leg back to Lom.
At the west end of Vågå town center, follow the well-signposted Solsidevegen along Vågåvatnet.
This hilly final stage runs on both asphalt and gravel and takes you all the way back to Lom and Fossheim hotel.
