This hike starts with some absolutely fantastic turns up to the foot of Dalsnibba, this climb is one of the most beautiful in Møre og Romsdal, but not as much talked about as Trollstigen and Ørnevegen.
The trip down from Strynefjellet offers some tunnel sections that end up in a circus of varied turns and turn combinations. On the way to Sogndal, the southernmost point of the route, you will NEVER get bored. The sights are lined up and you'll be able to choose between nature experiences and organized activities on the way south. The cable car in Loen is one of these. Sogndal may be a natural lunch spot before you start the wow stage over Sognefjellet. From here you'll experience some of the wildest fjords and mountains in Norway, and the ride through the spectacular landscape is winding and delightful to drive. A dilemma quickly arises where you almost have to choose between enjoying the twists and turns or visual impressions that almost exceed all expectations. For the motorcyclist, this must be heaven itself!
When you arrive in Lom, you have about 100 km left of the trip back to Geiranger, where the terrain is calmer, the turns are bigger and you can flow through the landscape over the mountain to Grotli and on to Geiranger. If you now have some energy left and are receptive, we can recommend the hike up Dalsnibba. You will probably arrive here in the afternoon with the sun setting in the west and the visual impressions will surpass most of what you have seen before. The road up to Dalsnibba is a chapter in itself and extremely fun to drive. The descent to Hotel Union Geiranger can then only be enjoyed with new turns and a hearty meal within reach.
