It is recommended that the GPS is set to select the fastest route and any avoidance turned off for the route to be calculated as described.
The first part of the trip up to Skeikampen is asphalt, then it's mainly gravel, interspersed with a few stretches of asphalt, until you get back down to Heidal.
Then it's mostly asphalt.
The tour then continues along the Peer Gynt road, through part of Norway’s most beautiful mountain world and the main high mountain road through Gudbrandsdalen to Gålå.
The last part of the Peer Gynt road goes via Fefor before descending to Dalseter and then follows Espedalsveien about 10km to Skåbu and the beautiful Skåbu Fjellhotell where we recommend lunch.
After lunch, the tour continues into Murudalen, Jo Gjende’s kingdom, before we take off at Meringsdalsvatnet and move up via Kvernbursætrene and down to Heidal.
Don’t forget to make a stop to view the Heidalsmu on your way over the mountain.
The tour also passes Glittersjå Fjellgård for those who want to get very close to animals and nature.
Once down in Heidal, you can choose to take a short detour of 6 km north to Heidal Ysteri, the birthplace of brown cheese, before following the back road south towards Gudbrandsdalen.
On the first stretch, you’re sure to see plenty of boats in the Sjoa, as you pass Norway’s rafting paradise.
For those who are used to driving the E6 through Gudbrandsdalen, you’ll get a completely new, different and unique experience of the valley on the trip south back to Nermo Hotel. Bommer
