Drive the Rv7 or Rv13\/Fv550 combination in summer (June\u2013August) for the best conditions, budget a full day, and expect reindeer, snow patches even in July, and almost nobody else on the road.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<!-- SECTION 4: IN THIS GUIDE -->\n<div class=\"htf-toc\">\n<div class=\"htf-toc-label\">In this guide<\/div>\n<ol>\n<li><a href=\"#what-is-hardangervidda\">What Hardangervidda actually is (and why it surprises people)<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#which-road\">Which road to drive: Rv7 vs the scenic loop<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#quick-reference\">Quick-reference: stops, distances, and timings<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#when-to-go\">When to go and what to expect month by month<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#vs-other-routes\">How it compares to Norway&#8217;s other famous drives<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#mistakes\">Mistakes we made so you don&#8217;t have to<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#faq\">Frequently asked questions<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#final-word\">A final word from Rovaniemi<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n<!-- SECTION 5: H2 Section 1 -->\n<h2 id=\"what-is-hardangervidda\">What Hardangervidda Actually Is (and Why It Surprises People)<\/h2>\n<p>We&#8217;ll be honest: before we drove it, we thought Hardangervidda was just a stretch of Norway you pass through on the way to somewhere more famous \u2014 Bergen, maybe, or the Hardangerfjord. We were wrong.<\/p>\n<p>Hardangervidda is Europe&#8217;s largest mountain plateau, covering around 8,000 km\u00b2. It sits at an average altitude of 1,200 metres, which means even in June you&#8217;ll often find snow on the ground. Norway counts it as a national park, home to the largest wild reindeer herd in Europe \u2014 roughly 10,000 animals. On a good day, you&#8217;ll see them standing in the middle of the road looking entirely unbothered by your rental car.<\/p>\n<h3>The geography that makes it different<\/h3>\n<p>Unlike the fjords \u2014 which are dramatic and vertical \u2014 Hardangervidda is horizontal. It feels infinite. The plateau rolls in every direction, and on overcast days, the sky and the land merge into a single grey canvas. It&#8217;s the kind of place that makes you feel genuinely small, not in a terrifying way, but in the way that makes you go quiet.<\/p>\n<p>The plateau drops suddenly at its edges. On the western side it falls steeply into the Hardangerfjord \u2014 one of the longest fjords in Norway. That contrast, from bare tundra to glassy water, is one of the most striking things we&#8217;ve seen in all our Norway travels.<\/p>\n<h3>Who actually drives it?<\/h3>\n<p>Mostly Norwegians on their way between Oslo and Bergen, and a steady trickle of cyclists doing the legendary Rallarvegen route (though that&#8217;s a separate road further north). International tourists tend to stick to the E16 via Voss or the train, which means the plateau roads are genuinely quiet. We drove the Rv7 on a Saturday in July and counted more reindeer than oncoming cars in a 40 km stretch.<\/p>\n<!-- SLOT 2: BODY PHOTO after H2 Section 1 -->\n<div class=\"htf-photo-ph\" style=\"background: #F8F7F4; border: 1px dashed #C8A45A; border-radius: 6px; padding: 40px 20px; text-align: center; margin: 36px 0; font-family: 'Inter',sans-serif; font-size: 14px; color: #a8a49c; letter-spacing: .5px;\" data-slot=\"2\" data-slug=\"hardangervidda-drive-norway\" data-keywords=\"hardangervidda,reindeer,plateau,norway,summer,road,tundra,wilderness\">[ Photo placeholder \u2014 reindeer herd on the Hardangervidda plateau road in summer with open tundra landscape, 1600\u00d71000 ]<\/div>\n<!-- SECTION 6: H2 Section 2 -->\n<h2 id=\"which-road\">Which Road to Drive: Rv7 vs the Scenic Loop<\/h2>\n<p>There are two main ways to drive across Hardangervidda, and which you choose depends on how much time you have and how scenic you want to get.<\/p>\n<h3>Option 1: Rv7 (the direct route)<\/h3>\n<p>The Rv7 between H\u00f8nefoss (east) and Granvin (west) is the main plateau road. It&#8217;s the most practical choice if you&#8217;re driving between Oslo and Bergen in a day. The eastern approach climbs steadily from Geilo \u2014 Norway&#8217;s most popular ski resort \u2014 up onto the plateau, crossing the highest point at around 1,243 m before descending dramatically toward the fjord.<\/p>\n<p>Distance across the plateau section: roughly 80 km from Geilo to Eidfjord. In summer with no stops, you can drive this in under 90 minutes. But you really don&#8217;t want to rush it \u2014 the plateau rewards slow driving and frequent stops.<\/p>\n<h3>Option 2: The Rv13\/Fv550 loop via Hardangerfjord<\/h3>\n<p>If you have a full day rather than half, do what we did: drive the Rv7 across the plateau, then drop down into Eidfjord and take the ferry or road along the Hardangerfjord, loop around via Odda and the Rv13, and climb back up through the mountain valleys. This gives you the plateau AND the fjord in one loop, and it&#8217;s one of the best driving days we&#8217;ve had anywhere in Scandinavia.<\/p>\n<p>The full loop from Geilo is around 250\u2013300 km depending on your exact route, and takes the better part of a day with stops. We started at 8am and arrived in Bergen by 7pm \u2014 fully satisfied and slightly windburned.<\/p>\n<h3>Ferry tip<\/h3>\n<p>The Brimnes\u2013Bruravik ferry across the Eidfjord arm runs regularly and is very short (around 10 minutes), but check the Skyss\/Norled timetables before you go \u2014 in peak summer it gets busy with campervans and you don&#8217;t want to miss a crossing and lose an hour.<\/p>\n<!-- SECTION 7: MID-POST RELATED CALLOUT -->\n<div class=\"htf-pull\">Planning a Norway road trip?

The plateau is green (briefly), reindeer are visible, and V\u00f8ringsfossen is at full flow from snowmelt. Busier at major stops but the road itself stays quiet. Best all-round month.<\/li>\n<li><strong>August:<\/strong> Excellent. The heather starts to turn purple-brown toward month end. Fewer tourists than July. Temperatures cooling noticeably on the plateau by late August.<\/li>\n<li><strong>September:<\/strong> Autumn colours begin \u2014 arguably the most beautiful light of the year. Can get cold and misty. Road usually open until late October.<\/li>\n<li><strong>October\u2013April:<\/strong> Road typically closed. Don&#8217;t risk it without checking \u2014 conditions can change overnight.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<!-- SECTION 11: H2 Section 5 \u2014 COMPARISON -->\n<h2 id=\"vs-other-routes\">How Hardangervidda Compares to Norway&#8217;s Other Famous Drives<\/h2>\n<p>We&#8217;ve driven most of Norway&#8217;s celebrated roads by now. Here&#8217;s the honest comparison so you can decide if Hardangervidda belongs on your itinerary:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Vs Trollstigen:<\/strong> Trollstigen is more dramatic and photogenic, but also far more crowded in summer. Hardangervidda is bigger, lonelier, and gives you a feeling Trollstigen can&#8217;t \u2014 genuine wilderness. Drive both if you can.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Vs Atlantic Ocean Road:<\/strong> Atlantic Ocean Road wins on spectacle (bridges, sea, waves). Hardangervidda wins on scale and raw nature. Different moods entirely \u2014 the plateau is introspective, the Atlantic road is cinematic.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Vs Lofoten E10:<\/strong> The E10 has the famous red fishing villages and dramatic peaks. Hardangervidda has the plateau&#8217;s desolate beauty. E10 edges it for first-time Norway visitors; Hardangervidda rewards returning ones.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Vs Rallarvegen:<\/strong> Rallarvegen runs along the northern edge of Hardangervidda and is primarily a cycling route. If you&#8217;re on two wheels, Rallarvegen; if you&#8217;re in a car, Rv7 across the plateau.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Vs Sognefjellsvegen (Rv55):<\/strong> Both are high mountain roads. Sognefjell reaches higher (1,434 m peak) and is more dramatic at the top. Hardangervidda is gentler but covers more ground. We rate them roughly equal depending on your starting point.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-3866 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/hungrytravelfamily.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/trondmyhre4-mountain-5262652_1280-1024x542.jpg\" alt=\"Hardangervidda Norway Hungrytravelfamily 02\" width=\"1024\" height=\"542\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hungrytravelfamily.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/trondmyhre4-mountain-5262652_1280-1024x542.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/hungrytravelfamily.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/trondmyhre4-mountain-5262652_1280-300x159.jpg 300w, https:\/\/hungrytravelfamily.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/trondmyhre4-mountain-5262652_1280-768x407.jpg 768w, https:\/\/hungrytravelfamily.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/trondmyhre4-mountain-5262652_1280-600x318.jpg 600w, https:\/\/hungrytravelfamily.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/trondmyhre4-mountain-5262652_1280.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<!-- SLOT 4: BODY PHOTO after H2 Section 5 --><!-- SECTION 12: SECOND RELATED CALLOUT -->\n<div class=\"htf-pull\">If you&#8217;re combining the plateau with the fjord below, don&#8217;t miss our guide to <a href=\"https:\/\/hungrytravelfamily.com\/blog\/destinations\/geirangerfjord-without-crowds\/\">seeing Geirangerfjord without the cruise crowds<\/a> \u2014 the same principles apply further north.

There isn&#8217;t one. Geilo is your last stop heading west \u2014 fill up there, no exceptions.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Underestimating the cold:<\/strong> It was 23\u00b0C in Bergen when we set off. On the plateau it was 8\u00b0C with horizontal wind. We had jumpers in the car but not enough. Bring a proper layer even in July.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Skipping V\u00f8ringsfossen:<\/strong> On our first crossing we were in a hurry and drove past the V\u00f8ringsfossen turnoff. That was a genuine mistake \u2014 it&#8217;s one of the most impressive waterfalls in Norway and you&#8217;re right there. Don&#8217;t do what we did.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Not checking the road status:<\/strong> The Rv7 closed for a day in August one year due to snow. In August. Always check vegvesen.no or the 175 traffic information line the morning of your drive during shoulder season.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Driving it at night in summer:<\/strong> Not dangerous, and the light is beautiful, but you&#8217;ll miss the views and the reindeer tend to be harder to spot (and more dangerous on the road). Mid-morning to mid-afternoon is the sweet spot.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Rushing the descent to Eidfjord:<\/strong> The road down from the plateau to Eidfjord is winding and spectacular. We went too fast on a first crossing and missed three obvious pull-offs. Slow down \u2014 the views of the fjord appearing below you are genuinely among the best we&#8217;ve seen in Norway.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<!-- SECTION 14: H2 Section 7 \u2014 FAQ -->\n<h2 id=\"faq\">Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2>\n<div class=\"htf-faq\">\n<div class=\"htf-faq-item\">\n<p class=\"htf-faq-q\">Is Hardangervidda driving difficult \u2014 do you need a 4WD?<\/p>\n<p class=\"htf-faq-a\">In summer (June\u2013September) a regular car is fine. The Rv7 is a well-maintained paved road. A 4WD is only necessary if you&#8217;re attempting to drive in May before the road fully opens, or if you&#8217;re heading off-road onto the plateau tracks (which require a proper jeep track permit).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"htf-faq-item\">\n<p class=\"htf-faq-q\">How long does it take to drive across Hardangervidda?<\/p>\n<p class=\"htf-faq-a\">The Rv7 plateau section from Geilo to Eidfjord is about 80 km and takes 90 minutes non-stop. With stops at Dyranut, V\u00f8ringsfossen, and the viewpoints above Eidfjord, budget 3\u20134 hours. If you&#8217;re doing the full scenic loop via the fjord, plan a full day.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"htf-faq-item\">\n<p class=\"htf-faq-q\">When does the Hardangervidda road (Rv7) open and close?<\/p>\n<p class=\"htf-faq-a\">It typically opens in late May or early June and closes in October or November, depending on snowfall. The exact dates vary year to year \u2014 always check <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vegvesen.no\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">vegvesen.no<\/a> or the official Norwegian road authority site before you travel.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"htf-faq-item\">\n<p class=\"htf-faq-q\">Can you see reindeer on Hardangervidda?<\/p>\n<p class=\"htf-faq-a\">Yes, and very likely so in summer. Hardangervidda is home to Europe&#8217;s largest wild reindeer herd (around 10,000 animals). We&#8217;ve seen them on and near the road on every crossing we&#8217;ve done. Drive carefully \u2014 they appear suddenly and are completely unbothered by traffic.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"htf-faq-item\">\n<p class=\"htf-faq-q\">Is V\u00f8ringsfossen worth stopping for on the Hardangervidda drive?<\/p>\n<p class=\"htf-faq-a\">Absolutely yes. It&#8217;s one of Norway&#8217;s most impressive waterfalls \u2014 183 m of free fall into a canyon \u2014 and it&#8217;s right next to the Rv7. The new viewing platform (opened 2022) makes it accessible for all fitness levels. Budget 30\u201345 minutes for a proper visit.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"htf-faq-item\">\n<p class=\"htf-faq-q\">Is Hardangervidda worth a detour or should I just drive through?<\/p>\n<p class=\"htf-faq-a\">Worth a detour, without question \u2014 but the detour is subtle. It&#8217;s less about a single monument and more about the cumulative experience: the scale, the silence, the reindeer, the drop to the fjord. If you&#8217;re driving Oslo to Bergen anyway, take the Rv7 over the plateau instead of the E16. You won&#8217;t regret it.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- SECTION 15: H2 Section 8 \u2014 CLOSING -->\n<h2 id=\"final-word\">A Final Word from Rovaniemi<\/h2>\n<p>We live up here on the Arctic Circle in Rovaniemi, so we know something about landscapes that feel like the edge of the world. Hardangervidda has that quality \u2014 and it&#8217;s rare to find it this accessible from a major driving route.<\/p>\n<p>The thing we keep coming back to is the contrast. In an hour you drop from bare tundra at 1,200 metres into one of the most beautiful fjords in Norway. You go from silence and wind and reindeer to caf\u00e9 terraces and glass-calm water. That transition \u2014 and the drive itself \u2014 is something we&#8217;ve recommended to every person planning a Norway road trip who asks us where to go beyond the obvious.<\/p>\n<p>The obvious choices in Norway are obvious for a reason. But Hardangervidda is the one that tends to stick with people longest. Add it to the itinerary. Take the slow road down to the fjord. Stop at V\u00f8ringsfossen even if you think you&#8217;ve seen enough waterfalls. You haven&#8217;t.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u2014 Joona &amp; Alla, writing from Rovaniemi, Finland<\/em><\/p>\n<!-- SECTION 16: AUTHOR BIO -->\n<div class=\"htf-bio\">\n<div class=\"htf-bio-avatar\">J&amp;A<\/div>\n<div class=\"htf-bio-text\">\n<div class=\"htf-bio-tag\">About the Authors<\/div>\n<h4>Joona &amp; Alla \u2014 Hungry Travel Family<\/h4>\n<p>We&#8217;re a couple based in Rovaniemi, Finnish Lapland, who&#8217;ve travelled to 21 countries and counting.
