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 departure from Hotel Union Geiranger through the center of Geiranger is always pleasant and the trip up to Ørnesvingen and Eidsdal offers nice warm-up exercises that you will benefit from throughout the day.
From Linge via Stordal to Vestnes, you drive in varied winding terrain at relatively good speeds.
You need to pay attention because a few of the bends are blind and require speed adjustment on the way in, these are right-hand bends that go around rock outcrops that you see coming.
Otherwise, these roads allow consistently high turning speeds in clear turning combinations.
The section from Vestes to Ytre Hildre is nothing short of insanely festive, and if you’re accompanied by several bikes, you really get the experience of sitting on a roller coaster that winds through a wonderful driving terrain, incredibly festive.
Vestnes or Brattvåg can be natural destinations for a lunch break!
If you can’t get enough of this, you can add an extra loop from Tresfjord to Vaksvika where parts of the route run on gravel.
If you choose to follow the route instructions, after Ytre Hildre you will be able to relax a little in the lazy bends on the way back to Linge via Sjøholt.
If you want to experience Ålesund, you can easily find your way from Sjøholt and a half-hour trip out to Ålesund.
On arrival in Linge, you’ll cross the fjord by ferry, you’ll never get enough of the final stretch over the mountain to Geiranger, and it’s only natural to stop at the Ørnesvingen viewpoint for a photo session and perhaps a cooling shower in the waterfall!
If you miss out on the weather and the sun, you’ll really get in touch with the elements on this trip and the sense of achievement will be high!
