As its Norwegian name suggests, Skei fjellandsby is a mountain village attached to the town of Skei. It features pretty wooden chalets. Pleasant hiking trails start from here, such as Helgafossen.

Winding road with nonstop views: nothing like Peer Gyntvegen to crank up the mountain mood.

The tour partly leads over bumpy forest paths and stream passages. But mostly easy-to-drive stone powder roads and gravel. Long climbs and descents.

While driving technically undemanding descents simply enjoy the scenery. But beware of stubborn sheep in the middle of the way!
