Along selected roads in Norway, natural wonders are amplified by art, design, and architecture …
… meant to bring you closer to nature in new and surprising ways.
From the far north to the deep southwest, Norwegian architecture and design have stepped into the landscape …
… to intervene in the scenery along 18 especially beautiful roads.
You’ll find unexpected rest stops …
… breathtaking viewpoints …
… and astonishing art installations.
Meet the award-winning Scenic Routes.
Imagine driving along a road with stunning views of fjords, mountains, waterfalls, and glaciers. At the perfect moment, you arrive at a spectacular viewpoint where you can stop and take it all in without having to concentrate on your driving.
On 18 Norwegian roads, this is exactly what will happen. Here, Norwegian architecture and design are interacting with the nature – not to obstruct, but to enhance and enable new experiences. The Norwegian Scenic Routes combine nature, architecture, and design into something greater than the sum of its parts – and they are some of Norway’s natural highlights.
See it for yourself in the video below, about four friends that drive the Norwegian Scenic Route Sognefjellet together.
The 18 panoramic drives are some of the most beautiful road stretches in Norway and will take you along the coast and across mountains in the northern, western, and central parts of Norway. In total, they cover 2,136 kilometres, and on each road, you’ll see several groundbreaking sites – whether it’s viewpoints, art installations, or resting areas with extremely fancy toilets.
Many renowned Norwegian architects and designers have contributed to the project, such as Snøhetta, Reiulf Ramstad Arkitekter, Jensen & Skodvin, and Carl-Viggo Hølmebakk. A few foreigners have been involved as well, among them French-American Louise Bourgeois and Swiss Peter Zumthor.
When you have to go, you have to go. Luckily, several restrooms along the Norwegian Scenic routes are among the world’s best loos – and they are worth a visit even if you don’t have business to take care of.
