Sognefjellsvegen
Hello,
I am considering cykling Sognefjellsvegen in July. Does anyone know what kind of traffic conditions to expect? And is it the right direction to go from Otta/Lom towards Bergen? I am worried that it will be packed with cars and dangerous. Any experience from this road is super welcome😊

There is no right or wrong direction both ways are amazing, but from Lom is considerably easier. Just cycle it early in the morning or late in the evening if you want limited traffic. It’s safe to cycle even with traffic.

Thank you Matthew. That sounds good! I have been looking at that road for a couple of years and might be able to do it this summer. Would love to hear if there are other experiences out there as well😊

Hello Trine, I totally agree with Matthew, It’s really worth it, I would recommand to start from Lom, the other side is more steep. We did it end of July 2023, during the day and there was not a lot of traffic at all, we were a bit surprised about that. We camped somewhere on top, a bit further then the hotel and it was an amazing place to stay, one of the best, I have to say! It was just cold, we warmed up in the hotel with hot chocolate first and made camp after that. Enjoy your trip, go for it!
