Aurlandsvangen panorama road from Flåm to the Borgund Stave Church

The Aurlandsfjellet scenic route is known as the snow road between the fjords. From fjord to fjord, over a barren high mountain area shaped by snow and former glacier coverage, and right at the start impressing with a view of the Aurlandsfjord. The Stegastein viewpoint offers the optimal view for this. The scenic route promises many strong and contrasting impressions on the way from the fjord up to the high mountain area, which is snow-covered for most of the year. The most characteristic features of this road are solitude and completely untouched nature. Only the power lines show that people do live here. Together with the Lærdal Tunnel, this makes a unique round trip from Aurlandsvangen, the start of the panorama route, to its end at Gamle Lærdalsøyri. From there, it is only 30 km to the Borgund Stave Church, which is definitely worth visiting. The road is closed in winter but can be driven all year round from Aurlandsvangen to the Stegastein viewpoint. Dogs are not allowed inside the stave church.
