Norway Road Trip Itinerary: Best Travel Guide for 1st-Time Visitors (West & East Area)

DAY 1

◘◘ Head on to Gaularfjell National Tourist Route
Best hotel in Balestrand? There’s no contest really as I find Kviknes Hotel as the best choice possible! If you’re on a budget, other options are Balestrand Hotel or Holiday Home.

One of the top activities that I aimed to accomplish as I traveled to Norway was to hike the famous Trolltunga (Troll’s Tongue) and reach its iconic peak (tongue) — and I did!

◘◘ Take a scenic ferry ride from Forsand to Lysebotn

Åndalsnes is a small town but it’s in close proximity to amazing places like Romsdalseggen, Trollstigen, and more. Nevertheless, as you’re in the town itself, it would be a wise choice to visit the Norsk Tindesenter (Norwegian Mountaineering Centre) after you grab a hearty lunch.
