Sognefjell Mountain Road is a national tourism route in Norway due to its breathtaking beauty. Both Luster and Lom can be reached by this route. This route travels through the Sognefjell mountain range. This highway serves as the primary access point to Jotunheimen National Park.
High mountains, glaciers, and deep lakes are the hallmarks of Norway’s Jotunheimen National Park. The tallest mountains in Norway are found in Jotunheimen, where you can find over 200 peaks that are higher than 2000 meters (6560 feet). As you approach Skjolden, the beautiful environment along the coastlines is enhanced by farms, creating a picture-perfect setting.
Jostedalsbreen National Park (Breheimsenteret) is another adjacent park that is easily accessible from Skjolden. When it comes to continental Europe, Jostedalsbreen is by far the biggest glacier. At the Breheimsenteret, you can go white-water rafting, kayaking, or hiking on a glacier. It’s a 60-kilometer drive from Skjolden.
In Norway, one of the tallest waterfalls is located at Feigumfossen. The Feigumfossen Waterfall is one of the highest in Norway, with a free fall of 715 feet (218 meters).
