The highest mountain-pass road in Northern Europe.
The Fv55 Sognefjellsvegen climbs to 1,434 m between Lom and Skjolden, the highest mountain pass road in Northern Europe, a stark, beautiful run past glaciers, snow-walls and the Jotunheimen peaks. Open only in the warmer months; mind the fast-changing weather, the cyclists, and snow at the top even in high summer.
