This mountain road twists and turns, crossing mountains and Sognefjord, and passes through sections with great altitude differences, offering changing and stunning views from lush green forests to high mountain snowfields. Some of the higher altitude sections have snow all year round, and even in summer, there are towering snow walls on both sides of the road, which is deeply fascinating and impressive. Driving on the Norwegian Snow Road will definitely leave you with the most profound impression!

Vardahaugselvi

The Vardahaugselvi Valley Waterfall Trail is located in Helgeland County, Norway. Here, you can stroll through the mystical Nordic forests, listen to the romantic and gentle sound of flowing water, bask in the sunlight, and explore the natural beauty between the valley and the waterfalls. In the autumn and winter seasons, the magic of the Northern Lights will envelop the entire valley in an atmosphere of myth and wonder, making it a dreamlike and unforgettable experience.

Vedahaugane Cave

The Vedahaugane viewpoint is located in the first half of the Snow Road, offering a panoramic view of the winding road from this high vantage point. The viewpoint also features a massive installation art piece called 'The Den' by the renowned American artist Mark Dion. The artwork showcases a giant black bear plush stacked on what appears to be a pile of trash, but in reality, these items are collected by the artist from around the world. The viewpoint is situated at an altitude of over 1000 meters and is only open from June to September due to the harsh winter climate. However, it is an absolute must-visit during this period.

Flotane Melting Snow Waterfall

The Flotane rest area is located on the green grasslands of the Aurlandsfjellet route, adjacent to high-altitude lakes that are deep blue and still have large patches of residual snow in the summer. The waterfall cascades down from the mountains into the lake, creating a fairyland-like scene. You will be amazed by the magnificent view in front of you. Sitting by the lake, enjoying the warm summer sunshine, and admiring the snow and waterfall will undoubtedly make you feel the most wonderful enjoyment in life!

Stegastein Viewpoint

The viewpoint is an inverted L-shaped wooden platform that protrudes from one side of the cliff at an altitude of 643 meters. The platform is designed with glass railings and extends through the trees, offering unparalleled views of the iconic curves in the Aurlandsfjord World Heritage site. Unlike the Geirangerfjord, the mountains on both sides of the Aurlandsfjord are not high, but the scenery is staggered and stunning.
