The 1000meter (Tusenmeteren)

The old road between Sletterust and Øvre (upper) Årdal is a lovely road for a bike ride. Its twisting incline brings you 1000 metres above sea level. The road does include a tunnel, so it would be beneficial for the bike to have a light. The road offers a panoramic view towards the mountain range of Hurrungane and a good view towards the valley of Utladalen, Øvre Årdal, the mountain of Bøttejuvet and the Årdalsvatnet Lake. Approximately 40 hairpin turns bring you from the highest point to where the gravel road meets RV (highway) 53, a few kilometres from the centre of Øvre Årdal.
