fjords and mountains? Do you love adventure, and are you not scared of putting some effort into experiencing the best sights? If you answered yes, this Norway road trip starting and ending in \u00c5lesund will be perfect for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Norway_road_trip_the_logistics\"><\/span>Norway road trip the logistics<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Before you book your flights to Norway, you should plan a few things first. Those include how you will get around here, what route you will follow, and what time of the year is best for the road trip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_get_to_Alesund\"><\/span>How to get to \u00c5lesund? <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>\u00c5lesund is the largest town in the M\u00f8re og Romsdal county, known as the home of the Sunm\u00f8re Alps. They are, in my opinion, the most beautiful mountain range in Norway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u00c5lesund is a fantastic place to start and end your Norway road trip because it is very close to many of the top attractions in the country. I also find \u00c5lesund way more interesting and beautiful than Bergen or Oslo. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The town has a small airport and car rental places. You can get here by catching an internal flight between Oslo and \u00c5lesund. Norwegian Air and SAS, both local airlines, operate along this route.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:70px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_the_best_time_of_the_year_to_do_this_road_trip\"><\/span>What is the best time of the year to do this road trip?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Since many of the activities I have included in this plan are outdoor, the best time to follow this Norway road trip itinerary is between July and September. This is because most trails are clear of snow and safe to follow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At any time before or after this timeframe, you may still encounter significant snow when hiking at higher elevations. It&#8217;s possible to go earlier, but please note that you may not be able to complete all the activities listed on this itinerary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Road_trip_outline_and_map\"><\/span>Road trip outline and map<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/d\/embed?mid=1rejys5kaRWeaD1Zd0t-RNzq5uG27FIk&#038;ehbc=2E312F\" width=\"960\" height=\"480\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<p>Above, you can view the road trip map, on which I marked the driving directions, viewpoints, hikes, and campsites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to use the map?<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Click on the button in the top left corner to open the layers.

I brought my campervan into Norway and spent a few months travelling.

Norwegians love to camp, and I have never seen so many campervans before.

I can only do it for a few weeks before I start craving a normal bed and a daily shower.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another great reason to rent a compact car is its fuel efficiency.

If you are travelling in a campervan, then go directly to Urke and stay at a campsite there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>S\u00e6bo, Urke &amp; \u00d8ye are only a few kilometres apart, but the first two lie on opposite sides of the Hj\u00f8rundfjord. Don&#8217;t fret, though. Ferries travel between the two towns every 30 minutes. You will quickly learn how crucial ferries are to Norway&#8217;s transportation system. On this road trip, you will take quite a few of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Spend the rest of the day checking out the area. If you are staying in Urke or \u00d8ye, I recommend driving to the local beach (marked on the map) and taking a swim. You can even jump from the jetty into the refreshing fjord.

Forty different trails later, Saksa remains one of my favourites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I quickly learned that trails in Norway tend to be steep, and instead of using zigzags, they often go straight up. This is the case with the hike to Saksa. You start at sea level and gain 1300 meters (over 4000 feet) of elevation in just over 3 kilometres (less than 2 miles). Whilst it&#8217;s not too bad when going up, going back down is a real knee-buster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At least you will be rewarded with extraordinary views from the top.

The three most notable are Oldenvatnet, Lovatnet, and Oppstrynvatnet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All three are glacier-fed, which means the tiny particles called rock flour, created by the glacier&#8217;s movement grinding down against the rock, travel down the rivers and empty into the lakes. The particles then reflect sunlight, giving the lakes intense colours. Depending on the weather, the colours of the lake change between blue, turquoise, and emerald.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the best places to observe this phenomenon is <a href=\"https:\/\/inafarawayland.com\/klovane-day-hike\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"14192\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">the summit of Klovane<\/a>, high above Lake Oldenvatnet.

One of them is the Briksdalsbreen Glacier Arm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Briksdalsbreen is no secret.

My favourites are the Stardalselva Valley, J\u00f8lstravatnet Lake, B\u00f8yabreen Glacier, and the Fj\u00e6rland village.

But what an exciting drive it will be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you leave the valleys, you will enter the Sognefjellet Scenic route, which stretches for 108 kilometres (67 miles) between the towns of Gaupne and Lom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You will first drive along the shoreline of Luster Fjord before climbing up along a twisting road toward the high mountain plateau. The route is the gateway to Jotunheimen National Park, which leads through the highest mountain pass in Northern Europe. There are plenty of beautiful roadside stops along this route.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nasjonaleturistveger.no\/en\/routes\/sognefjellet\/\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.nasjonaleturistveger.no\/en\/routes\/sognefjellet\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Sognefjellet Scenic Route<\/a> opens in late spring (usually at the start of May). It remains open for the summer and early autumn before closing again once the snow falls, making it impassable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you reach Lom, the end of the Sognefjellet route, turn left onto road No. 15. After another hour of driving, you will enter the Geiranger Scenic Road. Once again, you will drive through stunning mountain scenery to Norway&#8217;s most famous Fjord, the Geirangerfjord.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Similar to the Sognefjellet route, the Geiranger Scenic Route typically opens at the start of May and closes by November.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-background\" style=\"background-color:#24ad9940\"><strong>TIP!<\/strong> If you have an extra day, consider breaking up the journey and staying an extra night on the Sognefjellet Scenic Route.

Today, I recommend the most popular hike in the Geirangerfjord area: Skagefl\u00e5.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Skagefl\u00e5 was a small farm built on a cliff high above the Fjord. It operated until the beginning of the last century before being converted into a tourist attraction. You can enjoy beautiful panoramic views of the Seven Sisters waterfall from the farm, situated in the Geiranger Fjord.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is a one-way hike. After completing it, you must pre-book a boat transfer to get back to the village. I cover all the details in <a href=\"https:\/\/inafarawayland.com\/skagefla-hike-geiranger-fjord\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"14821\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">my guide to the Sk\u00e5gefla hike. <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:70px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Option 2: Activity in the Geiranger Fjord<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to take a break from hiking, there are plenty of fantastic outdoor activities in Geiranger that don&#8217;t require walking.

However, what if you don&#8217;t have ten full days but would still like to follow my proposed itinerary? Here are a few options that will allow you to shorten this plan to 7 or 8 days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Option 1:<\/strong> Skip the east side of Jostedalsbreen National Park and Sognefjellet Scenic Route. On day 5, after leaving Loen, drive straight to the Geiranger Fjord, passing Oppstrynvatnet. This will save you two days.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Option 2:<\/strong> Skip \u00c5ndalsnes. Go back to \u00c5lesund after visiting the Geirangerfjord. You can still drive to \u00c5lesund via \u00c5ndalsnes without needing to stay overnight. That way, you won&#8217;t miss out on seeing Trollstigen.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Option 3: <\/strong>Stay for a shorter period in each place. You can still see all the destinations I listed, but speed up your trip. The downside is that you won&#8217;t have much time to do all the adventures I enlisted. Your itinerary will look as follows:\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Urke or S\u00e6bo: 1 night <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Loen: 2 nights, <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Sogndalsfj\u00f8ra: 1 night, <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Geiranger: 1 night, <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u00c5ndalsnes: 1 or 2 nights. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>That will amount to 6 or 7 nights and 7 or 8 days on the road.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:70px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Other_road_trip_itineraries_around_Norway\"><\/span>Other road trip itineraries around Norway<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/inafarawayland.com\/bergen-to-bergen-road-trip\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"18882\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Bergen to Bergen in 7-10 days for hiking enthusiasts<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/inafarawayland.com\/oslo-to-oslo-road-trip-across-the-fjords\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"18878\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">14-day Oslo to Oslo Road Trip for Photographers<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/inafarawayland.com\/norway-one-week-itinerary-stavanger-to-bergen\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"18884\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Stavanger to Bergen through the tourist hotspots of Norway<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/inafarawayland.com\/lofoten-islands-road-trip-itinerary-for-hikers\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"18889\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Lofoten Islands 5-day hiking road trip<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:70px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-background\" style=\"background-color:#48bda324\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Support_my_website\"><\/span>Support my website!<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Hi Reader!
