Valdresflye touristic road map Nordeca 20006 Nordeca | 7046660200063

The road across the Valdresflye plateau offers sweeping views of mountains and open expanses, from which it seems to swoop into the Jotunheimen massif like the beginning of an endless journey. To the north, you can catch a view of the Jotunheimen National Park, where the mountains are steeper and wilder than to the south, where the landscape widens into serene, rolling hills. Much of the road is above the treeline; it reaches its highest point at 1 389 metres above sea level. No matter where you choose to stop you will find excellent opportunities for hiking. The area near Gjende lake has a wide network of marked trails for hikes of varying lengths and difficulties. The most famous hiking route goes along the Besseggen ridge. National Tourist Route Valdresflye runs from Garli to Hindsæter (County Road 51) over a total distance of 49 kilometres, included the short side road to Gjende. The mountain crossing is closed in the winter season.
