Mountain pass road between Sognefjord and Sunnfjord.
A National Tourist Route over the Gaularfjellet mountain between Balestrand on the Sognefjord and Moskog in Sunnfjord, western Norway, with the scenic climb carried on Fv613. The road snakes up a steep hillside in a series of hairpin bends below the Utsikten viewpoint, which opened in 2016 and sits roughly 700 metres above sea level, overlooking the valley and the bends below. Mind the winter closure between Mel and Mjell and the narrow descending hairpins.
