It is recommended that GPS is set to select the fastest route and any avoidance turned off in order 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 some asphalt stretches, until you come back down to Heidal. After that, it's mostly asphalt.
The tour then continues along the Peer Gynt road, through part of Norway's most beautiful mountain world and the high mountain main road through Gudbrandsdalen to Gålå. The last part of the Peer Gynt road goes via Fefor before you come down to Dalseter and then follow 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 turn off at Meringsdalsvatnet lake and head up via Kvernbursætrene and down to Heidal. Don't forget to make a stop to view Heidalsmuen on your trip over the mountain. The tour also passes Glittersjå Fjellgård for those who want to get really close to animals and nature. Once in Heidal, you can choose to take a short detour 6 km north to Heidal Ysteri, the birthplace of brown cheese, before following the back road south towards Gudbrandsdalen.
On the first part, you will certainly see many boats in Sjoa, as you pass Norway's rafting paradise. Those who are used to driving the E6 through Gudbrandsdalen will have a completely new, different and unique experience of the valley of the valley on the trip south back to Nermo Hotel.
