Scenic Routes closed during winter 2019/2020

Some of our Norwegian Scenic Route are closed during the winter. Here you can see which routes are open or closed. The table shows statistics for recent years. NOTE: This page does not show updated traffic information in real-time. It is important to note that even though a road has been opened for the summer season, it may still for some time be closed at night. Spring is a volatile season in the mountains, and in bad weather roads may be closed on short notice. Pay attention to weather forecasts and updated local road and traffic information.
