Suleskarvegen

Suleskarvegen – Scenic and Experience-Rich Journey Between West and East Norway.

The road is open from May 21 and is winter-closed on November 1.

Suleskarvegen is the shortest route between Oslo and Sandnes, totaling 425 km, and you should estimate about 7 hours of driving time. If you drive via E18 and E39, it is 535 km, thus 110 km longer.

Whether Suleskarvegen is the fastest route is perhaps doubtful, but we will claim that it is the most beautiful and spectacular!

The route has been rated as one of Norway's best motorcycle routes by the magazine Bike.

Winter Closure: Between Brokke and Suleskar, the road is only open from May 21 to November 1. Variations may occur, depending on weather and conditions. Check road and traffic information online or call 175.

Narrow Road: The road standard is generally good, but at times the road lane is narrow. That means one driving lane, but at the same time clear and with many passing places. It is fine to drive a motorhome or other relatively large vehicles

Sheep on the Road: In the summer months (from June and into the autumn), many sheep graze in the area. These can often be lying in the road lane or at the roadside, so it is important to drive carefully and be attentive. Drive slowly past, do not stop, and avoid feeding the sheep as this can create traffic hazardous situations.

Do Not Stop at Unsighted Locations or Passing Places: To avoid traffic hazardous situations, stop only at places where it clearly does not hinder traffic. At Håhelleren (near Roskreppfjorden), there is a large and good rest area. There is also a designated hiking trail here.

Hitting Animals Happens: If the accident occurs, you are obliged to notify. Compensation for injured or dead animals is covered by car insurance.

Here's what to do if you hit an animal:

Stop and observe the animal.
If the animal is dead, try to remove it from the road lane or set up a warning triangle.
If the animal is injured, assess the injury and try to see where the animal goes. If injured, it will often stop and lie down quite quickly. Do not follow it, as it may flee further.
If there is no mobile coverage, mark the spot with, for example, a plastic bag, and call and report when you have coverage.
