Frequently Asked Questions — Vestland Passes

When Aurlandsfjellet (Snow Road) is closed for winter, drivers use the Lærdal Tunnel (E16). At 24.5 km, it is the world's longest road tunnel and remains open 24/7 year-round.
Kolonnekjøring (convoy driving) is used by Statens vegvesen during severe winter storms. Vehicles wait at a barrier and follow a heavy snowplow in small escorted convoys across the mountain summit.
Tindevegen is open to cars, motorcycles, and small motorhomes. Heavy vehicles over 10 meters long or with trailers over 2.5 meters wide are discouraged due to narrow hairpin sections.
