Turtagrø
A century-old mountaineering hotel at the foot of the Hurrungane peaks, often called the cradle of Norwegian mountaineering. Hiking trails lead towards the peaks.
Turtagrø lies on the western section of the Sognefjell Road. It has been a base for climbers since 1888. The current hotel is a modern building, and it houses a mountaineering museum and a climbing school. Several hiking trails start from the area. You can climb Fannaråki or walk up to the foot of the Hurrungane peaks. It is also the starting point for climbing Store Skagastølstind. Even if you are only passing by by car, it is worth stopping for a coffee and a look at the peaks.
