Heads Up
- 1. Ferries: Several legs need car ferries. Use the Ferry Booking Norway app or ferjebooking.no — some routes (Geiranger–Hellesylt in summer) fill up, others are walk-on.
- 2. Fuel & tolls: Norway is expensive. Budget ~2x what you'd pay in most of Europe. AutoPASS chip in the rental handles tolls automatically.
- 3. Season: This route assumes late May through September. Trollstigen and Dalsnibba close in winter.
- 4. Daylight: June–July you'll get near-midnight sun up north — use it, push late dinners.
- 5. Day 4: 6h 48m driving — plan rest stops
- 6. Day 6: 7h 27m driving — plan rest stops
