A three-world journey from the Sognefjord shore to an alpine plateau and down into deep Voss valleys, via dramatic hairpin bends.

Rv13 climbs from the Sognefjord at Vik through a series of hairpin bends at Holesvingane onto a high mountain plateau dotted with icy lakes before descending through the steep Myrkdalen valley toward Voss. The route passes the Sendefossen waterfall mid-climb and the celebrated Tvindefossen waterfall near the Voss end, giving drivers one of western Norway’s most varied mountain-to-fjord experiences. Despite its dramatic scenery the road is fully paved and navigable by motorhomes in summer, though winter conditions require caution.
