Left from Lunde campsite in Aurland in early July. 17-C in the valley. The first kilometres to get out of the village are a bit busier due to traffic towards the Stegasteigen viewpoint. The hairpin bends follow in quick succession, overlooking the fjord. Once past Stegasteigen, halfway there is, another 2 km or so through the forest. Then you ride in open countryside towards the summit, where it was still about 4-C and quite windy. It's definitely worth riding a bit further on Gamle Aurlandsvegen. Slightly undulating kilometres on the snowy high plateau.

Begin juli vertrokken vanaf Lunde camping in Aurland. 17•C in het dal. De eerste kilometers om uit het dorp te geraken zijn wat drukker door het verkeer richting het Stegasteigen uitzichtpunt. De haarspeldbochten volgen elkaar snel op, met zicht op de fjord. Eenmaal Stegasteigen voorbij, halfweg is dat, nog een 2-tal km door het bos. Daarna rijd je in een open landschap richting de top, waar het nog zo’n 4•C en flink winderig was. Het is zeker de moeite om nog wat verder op de Gamle Aurlandsvegen te rijden. Licht glooiende kilometers op het besneeuwde hoog plateau.

A beautiful climb and road (snow road). There may be some traffic up to Stegastein, but after that there is little.

Beautiful climb!!! Gives 16 km not a moment's rest. Well asphalted and thus doable with road bikes. Until viewpoint Stegastein(9 km) nice view over fjord. Up to this point the road is relatively busy with tourists (cars) but as a cyclist it is easy to get around. After Stegastein it's a lot quieter and you ride towards the plateau and eternal snow. Also very beautiful.

Mooie klim!! Geeft 16 km geen moment rust. Goed geasfalteerd en dus ook met racefiets te doen. Tot aan uitkijkpunt Stegastein(9 km) mooi uitzicht over fjord. Tot dit punt relatief druk op de weg met toeristen(auto’s) maar daar rijdt je als fietser makkelijk omheen. Na Stegastein is het een stuk rustiger en rijd je richting hoogvlakte en eeuwige sneeuw. Ook erg mooi.

A climb where I could ride up at a nice, steady pace. Beautiful views of the fjord in the first half of the climb while riding between meadows and trees. Like everywhere in Norway, you soon get above the tree line in the 'high mountain landscape'. I personally saw that quickly, but it is still a very nice climb.

Een klim waar ik heerlijk op een strak tempo omhoog kon rijden. Prachtig uitzicht op het fjord in de eerste helft van de Klim terwijl je tussen de weilanden en bomen rijdt. Zoals overal in Noorwegen kom je al snel boven de boomgrens in het 'hooggebergte landschap'. Dat heb ik persoonlijk al snel gezien, maar toch blijft het een erg mooie klim.

PS: ik zie dat de klim op climbfinder een stuk verder gaat dan het 'gewone' segment. Mijn tijd is tot aan de top, niet het midden van het plateau.
