From Sunmøre and back to Oslo vs Geiranger and Valdresflya

I forgot to show a photo from Ålesund and my sisters in my last blogpost, so here we are gathered at restaurant Sjøbua for a great dinner. Recommended.

We have presently a large debate in Norway regarding road pricing and toll roads. At the western part of Norway the people are well known to obstacles when driving from A to B; The ferry crossing the fjords are one of these obsticals that require "extra" paying. 

Well over the fjord we once more climb up and down on hairpin curves. From Ørnevegen we can see Geiranger in the bottom of the fjord.

After passing Geiranger at the fjord we once more are climbing on narrow roads up to about 1000 meters. Ørnevegen can be seen to the right.

There are many places to stop and catch photos, but it is not necessity to do risky climbings.

Once again the valley brings us down to Lom with beautiful waterfalls before we again climb up to Valdresflye.

At "Flya" we can see into Jotunheimen (a mountainous area of roughly 3,500 km²) with mountain tops over 2000 m over sea level

The highest mountain plateau on "Flya" is 1389 m above sea level

Visiting Ålesund and Tafjord

On the road to Ålesund for a short visit to my sisters, we went down the spactacular 60 km valley Romsdalen with the fantastic mountain walls close to the road.

This is the well known "Trollveggen / Troll Wall" where base hoppers and clifhangers are doing extreme sport.

In Tafjord we went by car up to the end of the road in Øvste-Rødalen. A beautiful area with high peaks and waterfalls.

On the way up to the mountains we passed the large dam called Zakariasdammen with a water magasin volume of 70 mill cubic.

From the valley belove we see the dam which is 96 meter high.

On 7 April 1934, a rockslide of about 2,000,000 cubic metres (2,600,000 cu yd) of rock fell off the mountain Langhamaren from a height of about 700 metres (2,300 ft). The rock landed in the Tafjorden which created a local tsunami which killed 40 people living on the shore of the fjord. The waves reached a height of 62 metres (203 ft) near the landslide,
