Hardangervidda Tourist Route

Rv7 traverses the vast Hardangervidda plateau past Vøringsfossen waterfall and the Måbødalen canyon, linking Hardangerfjord to the high mountain interior.

Leaving Eidfjord at fjord level, Rv7 climbs through the dramatic Måbødalen valley — past the Vøringsfossen waterfall with its long free-fall — onto the open Hardangervidda plateau, the largest mountain plateau in northern Europe, before rolling east toward Haugastøl ski country. The plateau section offers sweeping treeless views with reindeer herds and Hardangerjøkulen glacier on the horizon. The road is officially one of Norway’s 18 National Tourist Routes and remains open year-round, though convoy systems operate after heavy snowfall.
