Valdresflye National Tourist Route
Valdresflye
A scenic road across the high plateau in southeastern Jotunheimen, at about 1,389 metres above sea level, with lakes and snow-capped peaks all along the way.
The Valdresflye Road (Route 51) is one of Norway's national scenic routes. Its northern section connects to Gjendesheim, and its southern section leads to the Valdres valley. The high plateau is wide and open. From it you can see the snowy peaks of Jotunheimen and a string of high mountain lakes. There are viewpoints and rest areas along the road, and it is also the only way to reach the start of the Besseggen hike. The road is closed in winter. In early spring, when it first reopens, there are tall snow walls beside the road.
