Fjord and mountains

This is the shortest tour, but the short length of the tour is by no means at the expense of fantastic nature and great experiences! The first 84 km run along the National Tourist Route, which is spectacular in itself.

The first 84 km run along the national tourist route, which is spectacular in itself.
You start the trip by driving around the Esefjord with high mountains directly above and close by.

After half an hour, you start climbing up Gaularfjellet to Utsikten at the top, where you must of course stop.
Fifteen minutes later you’ll stop at Likholefossen, where you can walk over the roaring waterfall and really experience the forces of nature.
On the way down from the mountains to Viksdalsvatnet and Sande, you’ll experience even more spectacular scenery.
Through Ytredalen to Vadheim you have high mountains on both sides and from Vadheim to Balestrand you drive along the Sognefjord in a completely new setting.
On the way back, we recommend a stop in the industrial town of Høyanger.
A wonderful trip that is rich in experiences and impressions.
