We left Sognefjord and directed ourselves towards route E39 - the main road that goes from Bergen to Alesund (and farther to Trondheim). To join it, we decided to take the Gaularfjellet road - one of Norway’s 18 National Scenic Routes.

Gaularfjellet is a popular tourist route and the viewpoint is swarmed with tourists in the summer. In October, however, we only saw Norwegians coming with their kids to play in snow, and a couple of Germans (of course).

For a short while, we found ourselves above the snowline. The road was however completely cleared and well-maintained - no ice :)
