Gudbrandsjuvet
A narrow gorge carved by river water in the Valldal valley. A steel cantilevered walkway spans the rushing rapids, making it an architectural highlight along the National Scenic Route.
Gudbrandsjuvet is located in the Valldal valley between Trollstigen and Geiranger. The river has cut a gorge into the granite about 20–25 m deep, only a few meters wide at its narrowest point, creating whirlpools and rapids. The National Scenic Route built curved steel viewing platforms and walkways here, suspended above the gorge, so visitors can feel the roar of the water up close. It is free to visit, and there is a café and hotel nearby. Most self-drivers stop for about 30 minutes on the way between Trollstigen and Eagle Road.
