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.
It's asphalt all the way, but with telephoto lifts and confusing turns, we advise you to take it easy and enjoy being on the road, rather than getting there quickly.
Along the way, you’ll pass Eva Bull Holthe’s museum, which is well worth a stop for art lovers. It’s asphalt all the way, but with telephoto lifts and confusing bends, we advise you to take it easy and enjoy being on the road rather than getting there quickly.
When you get to Rauland, it’s a good idea to stretch your legs a little and take a look around this famous winter sports resort. If you stop at Rauland Feriesenter, we recommend a short hike up to the Vidsyn sculpture that sits at the top of the Vierli toboggan run. Here you get a fantastic view of Hardangervidda National Park and Møsvatn – the water mirror that is the very origin of the industrial adventure at Rjukan, which is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Rauland Feriesenter also rents out boats and canoes if you want a break on the water, or perhaps want to try your luck at fishing along the way.
The road from Rauland down to Åmot is truly a gem of a road, winding down through the cultural landscape. In Åmot, you cross the main road and continue on a “bend on bend” road down to Dalen. Here, for many, there is an “obligatory” stop at the famous Dalen Hotel, either to take a photo, enjoy afternoon tea, lunch or coffee. A stroll through the hotel garden and down to the twinkling jewel of a sauna, Soria Moria, is highly recommended!
If you’re looking for a good lunch, we highly recommend Kafe Hvidesøe in Kviteseidbyen.
The road up from Dalen has a spectacular ascent, and once you’ve reached the top you have a great “anchor stage” to the hotel, with superb turns through the landscape and eventually along Vråvatn.
