The drive
A wall of hairpins climbing from the head of the Lysefjord.
The official road status is the only definitive answer, and it changes fast up high. As a guide: the typical driving season runs March to November, and the pass closes for winter snow outside it. Our road note: Closed in winter The live summit weather on this page helps judge conditions today.
When does the Lysevegen usually open and close?
In a typical year it is driveable from March to November. Exact dates shift with the snowpack: a heavy winter can push opening weeks later, and early snow can shut it ahead of schedule.
How high is the Lysevegen?
The summit of the driven road sits at about 787 m (2,582 ft), which is why the season is set by snow rather than by the calendar.
