in January and March 2012 I had the opportunity to climb this remote and scenic route. I started the climb in Dirdal at sea level and took the cycling path following the river to Gilja, where the actual climb starts. The winterly landscape and temperatures made the climb absolutely worthwhile and memorable. Make sure to pass the top and descent on the Frafjord side till at least the first hairpin to be amazed by beautiful views of the Frafjord and its surroundings. There is little to no traffic at all, the tunnel beneath the mountain takes care of that.
