The Flam Railway done and dusted we have a late breakfast, service the Hymer and roll out of the overpriced campsite at Flam. Its only a few kilometres and 2 tunnels on the E16 till the turn for Aurlandsvangen. We decide to stop and do a quick shop as our aim is to wildcamp tonight. The Aurlandsfjellet tourist route is only 49 kilometres long and starts at the edge of town and we are straight into a narrow road that climbs steeply up the mountain to the lookout at Stegastein. Interestingly we pass over the longest tunnel in Norway (25 kilomtetres) twice during this drive.
From the Stegastein we continue north, the road continues to climb until we reach the plateau. We must be above the normal summer snowline as there are large fields of snow and ice along the roadside.
Soon enough we arrive in Lรฆrdalsรธyri and our drive up the Aurlandsfjellet is complete. The late afternoon is spent on two ferry crossings and finding a spot for the night.
