Directions

Car

The viewpoint is situated on the left-hand side of the zig-zagging road running down from the Sognefjellet mountain plateau, approximately 3 kilometers north of Turtagrø Hotel.

Bus

In summer, the local route no. 200 (Lom-Sognefjellet-Sogndal) run across the Sognefjellet mountain plateau. The closest bus stop, Turtagrø Hotel, is 3 kilometers south of the viewpoint, so a tip is to ask the driver to let you off at Nedre Oscarshaug.
