Jotunheimvegen

Jotunheimvegen is a 45 kilometres (28 mi) long toll road[1] through Jotunheimen in Innlandet county in Norway which is only open in the summer, from the end of June until it starts to snow, generally in October.

From the eastern terminus, on the opposite side of the Olstappen lake is the Peer Gynt tourist road to Lillehammer.

Jotunheimvegen was constructed in the 1950s to replace a milk boat service which operated across Sandvatnet and Vinstri.

The early formation of the road had to cross boggy areas and was laid on birch branches to prevent the construction vehicles from sinking.

With the support of private finance, toll income and a grant from the Nord-Fron municipality, it was brought up to a good standard at a cost of NOK 10 million.
