OMVEIEN (THE DETOUR)

OMVEIEN is a long-distance route from Lillehammer in the east to the Sognefjord in the west, a route where you cross Mountain Norway and get to experience the most spectacular the country has to offer. From forest and gentle mountain terrain, further over high peaks and down valleys to one of Norway's most famous waterfalls; Vettisfossen.

OMVEIEN is part of Norway's SignaTUR hikes - a selection of hikes considered to be Norway's finest long-distance tours.
