The UNESCO World Heritage Site Circuit

The Fjell & Fjord region is an excellent starting point to visit three unique attractions included on UNESCO’s World Heritage List.

• Urnes Stave Church
• The Nærøyfjord
• Bryggen - the Hanseatic Wharf in Bergen

The national tourist route through Hardanger

Rv. 7 between Halne and Tokagjelet is designated as the national tourist route through Hardanger. 

The scenic road runs across Hardangervidda, one of Europe’s largest mountain plateaus, before following the incredible Hardangerfjord.

The breathtakingly steep waterfall Vøringsfossen marks the dramatic and precipitous descent from the mountains to the valleys and fjords.

The Aurland Road

The mountain road between Aurland and Lærdal (rv. 243) takes you from sea level to an altitude of 1,333 metres. As there is often lots of snow on either side of the road even in the middle of summer, it is known as the "Snow Road". A unique, recently constructed view point at Stegastein provides panoramic views of the Aurlandsfjord.

The Fanitull Road

The Fanitull Road (33 kilometres) crosses the mountains between Hemsedal and Leveld in Ål. The road makes its way through the beautiful countryside between the peaks of Lauvdalsbrea and Reineskarvet. There are lots of great places to stop for a break, or perhaps you would prefer to climb a mountain, such as Lauvdalsbrea?
