Norway’s road network is famous for its breathtaking beauty and incredible engineering. The country is home to 18 designated National Tourist Routes, including iconic drives like the Atlantic Road (Atlanterhavsveien), Trollstigen, and Lofoten’s coastal roads. These routes showcase Norway’s most spectacular landscapes, with roads often built to blend harmoniously with the surrounding nature.
Roads in Norway are highly diverse. Along the western coast, serpentine roads snake along steep fjords and cliff faces, offering dramatic views at every turn. Inland, roads pass through lush valleys, across vast mountain plateaus like Hardangervidda, and alongside crystal-clear lakes. In the Arctic north, endless open roads stretch under the Midnight Sun or beneath the Northern Lights, creating surreal and cinematic scenery perfect for filming.
Accessibility is excellent, with well-maintained infrastructure even in remote areas. Many famous roads include designated viewpoints and architectural rest areas designed by renowned architects, offering productions convenient access to Norway’s most visually striking landscapes.
