The charming and beautiful village of Skjolden is often known as the gateway to the national parks, due to the short distance to no less than three of the most iconic national parks in Norway – Jotunheimen, Breheimen and Jostedalsbreen. Skjolden is just a 30-minute drive from Northern Europe’s highest mountain pass, Sognefjellet Mountain Road.
From this location, you can enjoy stunning views of Breheimen and Jotunheimen – including the 20 highest peaks in Scandinavia. Have a quiet moment in Urnes Stave Church; Norway’s oldest, hike to the viewpoint for a breathtaking panorama, and past waterfalls and ancient buildings. You will be mesmerised by what you see.
