The section between Lesja and Lom is on a nice, hard-packed gravel road.
It’s always fun to drive up Ørnevegen, but one of the driving highlights is definitely the climb from Valldal up to the Trollstigen viewpoint, which is simply spectacular.
The wow factor continues on the way down to Åndalsnes where you can enjoy the ride to Romsdalseggen by cable car, or thunder on up Romsdalen to enjoy the Troll Wall.
The trip up Romsdalen offers wonderful bends and intense sensory impressions that indicate that the radar should be turned on because you need to get this in addition to the driving experience!

The trip from here goes through a quiet section to Skjåk, where you can stop at a private tractor museum just after you pass Nordberg, or enjoy the utterly delightful “sweepers” on the way up to Grotli and eventually the trip’s perhaps greatest highlight, which is Dalsnibba, an experience not to be missed!

You’re sure to sleep well!
