Haugastøl - Finse
Departure from the ski station of Haugastøl, near the hotel Haugastøl 1000 m.o.h. (bike rental available). The route is easy until the ski station of Finse.
Finse - Myrdal
Follow the lake until the Fagervatn pass (1343m), the highest point of the route. Possible firn on the road and in the lake in the end of July.
Then the road descends around nice water-falls.
Before Myrdal, you have to choose between two destinations:
Myrdal - Flåm
Crowded in the summer
Myrdal - Voss
…
This road is often ridden by bike but can be wonderfull by foot.
Often firn in July
