Aurlandsfjellet - Scenic Mountain Route Above the Fjords
Aurlandsfjellet is a stunning mountain plateau road that connects the two Villages by the fjord, Aurland and Lærdal, offering travelers one of the most scenic drives in Norway. Known for its dramatic landscapes, the route winds through rugged mountains, deep valleys, and wide-open plateaus, providing breathtaking views of the surrounding fjordlands.
Often called the Snow Road in winter due to its heavy snowfalls, Aurlandsfjellet is an adventure at any time of year. Along the route, visitors can stop at viewpoints to admire sweeping vistas, spot waterfalls cascading down cliffs, and take in the raw beauty of Norway’s highlands. The road is also part of the National Tourist Routes, designed to highlight Norway’s spectacular natural scenery.
Driving or cycling along Aurlandsfjellet is more than transportation — it’s an immersive experience in Norway’s dramatic terrain. The combination of twisting roads, panoramic views, and peaceful mountain landscapes makes it a must-visit for travelers seeking adventure, photography opportunities, and a chance to connect with the fjord region from a higher perspective.
