Dotted with lakes, streams and alpine views this section is stunning. As we finish the gravel we are treated to a brilliant tarmac downhill before two short climbs through an area you will want to go back and visit skiing in the winter. The panoramic views from the top are simply awe-inspiring, making every pedal stroke worth it. As you approach Haugastøl, the landscape transforms into an alpine wonderland.
