Sognefjellsvegen or Snow road is another picturesque Norwegian road we hit in 2016 during our Scandinavian road trip. Summer at this latitude means the long day so that we could drive till 9 pm, set a camp and I had enough time to walk around looking for the interesting places for sunset.

When I saw this triple peak, I was just hoping I will be able to catch the light lit through the valley. I was right in my predictions. The light was just where I expected it and the colors were calm and pastel.

About the place

(wikipedia)

The Sognefjellsvegen or Sognefjellsveien is the highest mountain pass road in Northern Europe. Part of County Road 55, it is located in Oppland and Sogn og Fjordane counties in Norway. It is a national tourist road and starts in the village of Lom in the municipality of Lom, it then travels over the Sognefjell mountain area, and it ends in the village of Gaupne in the municipality of Luster. The road was opened on 16 July 1938. The road passes through the Jotunheimen, Hurrungane, and Breheimen mountains. The highest point is Fantesteinen at 1,434 metres (4,705 ft). During the winters there is a lot of snow, and so the road is closed from November through May. The road passes between Jotunheimen National Park and Breheimen National Park.
