Route 3: Herdalssetra
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.
As there are only two ways in and out of Geiranger, Route 3 also goes out to the west, but the bends and climb up past Ørnesvingen are so much fun that it doesn't matter.
When you arrive in Eidsdal, turn right and drive east on winding roads heading into Norddal and the gravel road that takes you up to Herdalssetra.
The gravel road, which is about 10 km long, starts some way into the valley and has a gradient of as much as 22 degrees, this stretch of road is simply a great experience.
If you don’t like such challenges, you can take the ferry over to Linge and Valldal and choose the trip along Tafjordvegen to Zakariasdammen, which is also a great experience.
Several of the recordings from the TV series Kompani Lauritsen were shot here.
If you follow the planned route, the hike goes from Viset over the mountain on a lovely gravel road over Vaksvikfjellet and down to Tresfjorden.
This is a delightful gravel section of about 5 km that eventually gives way to a narrow asphalt road with very hilly and fun terrain.
From Tresfjorden to Åndalsnes, you can speed up again in nice sweepers and just enjoy.
When you pass Innfjorden, consider stopping to watch the base jumpers’ wild journey in wing suits down the mountainside.
In Åndalsnes you can take the new cable car up to Romsdalseggen, a great experience and a fantastic view straight out to sea in the west.
From Åndalsnes, head up the Isterdalen valley to Trollstigen, which is an obvious attraction and experience.
The new tourist facility at the top of Trollstigen is fantastic and hundreds of motorcyclists meet here every single day.
The trip down Valldalen and the ferry landing at Linge offers wonderful bends of absolutely every kind, this is a particularly fun valley to drive in.
A relatively short and varied route with many great experiences!
