Kristin and Svein's Journeys

A magical road trip through spectacular nature
Last weekend, we at Kristin and Sveins Journey packed the car and set out on an intense and fantastic work trip. The goal? To show both old and new followers how unique, beautiful, and spectacular Norway is!

The route took us through raw western nature and mighty mountain passes, and we cannot wait to share the highlights with you in our upcoming videos.

The journey started in the heart of Møre and Romsdal, in Ålesund. From there, we drove the iconic Atlantic Ocean Road to Kristiansund. In Rauma and Åndalsnes, we were met by the iconic, sharp peaks that take anyone's breath away. From here, our journey continued to Dombås, the well-known mountain junction, before we headed south again.

We drove the National Tourist Route over Valdresflya, where there was plenty of snow and a real winter atmosphere in the highlands. The contrasts between the white plains and the surrounding landscape were absolutely magical. The trip continued through cozy Beitostølen, Vågå and the Valdres hub Fagernes, before we climbed up into the open, idyllic landscape of Golsfjellet.

We finished this epic journey by crossing the mighty Hardangervidda – Northern Europe’s largest high-mountain plateau, which always delivers a completely unique, mystical atmosphere.

Lots of new video content on the way!
Our memory cards are full of spectacular drone shots, beautiful video footage, and pure joy of traveling. Videos from several of these stops will be released consecutively.

Did you miss our previous trip? Don't worry! We are currently editing the videos from the weekend before, where we explored the hidden gems and the beautiful coastal and inland nature of Rogaland and Vest-Agder.

Driving along Lake Garda on a clear and beautiful day is an experience that truly takes your breath away. The sparkling, deep blue lake is framed by dramatic mountains in the north and rolling vineyards in the south, creating a unique setting for an Italian road trip. With the sun warming the air and a light breeze coming off the water, the stunning surroundings feel almost like a living postcard.
Along the route, you pass gems like the historic peninsula of Sirmione, famous for its impressive Scaliger Castle and the Roman ruins at Grotte di Catullo. Further north, the road winds through charming towns like Bardolino and Malcesine, where you can take the cable car up to Monte Baldo for an unbeatable panoramic view of the entire lake. For those seeking a bit of extra excitement, driving through the narrow Strada della Forra—often cited as one of the most beautiful roads in the world—is an absolute must.
The journey offers countless opportunities for small stops, whether you want to enjoy an authentic Italian gelato by the harbor in Riva del Garda or explore the lush lemon groves of Limone sul Garda. The mild climate and clear light ensure that every turn reveals a new, beautiful vista. Lake Garda combines grand nature, rich history, and a wonderful atmosphere in a way that makes this one of the most memorable stretches you can drive in Europe.
We hope you enjoy our video from Lake Garda! Please feel free to leave a thumb up and a comment below.

The journey from Tinnhølen to Eidfjord is a voyage through the very best of Norway’s high-mountain scenery, where the landscape shifts from the vast, open plains of Hardangervidda to dramatic cliffs and deep valleys. The trip begins at Tinnhølen, the gateway to the national park, where the flat and weather-beaten terrain stretches as far as the eye can see. In the beautiful weather, the air is crystal clear, and snow-capped peaks reflect in the many small fishing lakes scattered along the gravel mountain road. It is not uncommon to catch a glimpse of reindeer or arctic foxes in this area, which truly enhances the feeling of being in the heart of the untouched wilderness.
As you move away from the tranquility of the plateau, the spectacular descent toward the Hardangerfjord begins. The road winds through Måbødalen, one of the country's most impressive valleys, where vertical mountainsides rise on either side. The absolute highlight of this stretch is Vøringsfossen, where massive volumes of water plunge 182 meters into the deep canyon. In the sunshine, beautiful rainbows often form in the mist from the waterfall, making the modern viewpoint at Fossli a perfect spot for a stop.
When you reach the bottom of the valley and drive the final stretch toward Eidfjord, the nature changes character once again, becoming lusher and more sheltered. Here, the wild mountains and the calm fjord meet in a beautiful contrast. Upon arriving in Eidfjord, you can visit the Hardangervidda Nature Centre to learn more about the area, or simply enjoy the atmosphere of the charming fjord village as the mountains reflect in the mirror-still water. This is a journey that truly demonstrates why Norwegian nature is in a class of its own when the weather is at its best.

Summer is fast approaching, and at Kristin and Svein's Journeys, we can already feel the pull of the open road. There is nothing quite like the feeling of freedom as the asphalt rolls beneath the wheels and the horizon opens up for new adventures.

This year, we are once again setting out on a grand journey through Europe, and we plan to capture every magical moment on film. We dream of those moments where we drive straight into the golden sunset, whether it is among the jagged Alps of Switzerland and Austria, through the rolling landscapes of Germany and France, or along the temperamental coastal roads of Italy and Spain. Our goal, as always, is to create unique experiences and lasting memories to share with all of you.

To make this year’s journey truly special, we need your help to find the real hidden gems. We are looking for those extraordinary roads that take your breath away—the narrow passes, the dramatic bends, and the routes that might not be found in the usual guidebooks. Have you driven a stretch that gave you goosebumps, or do you know of a secluded road with a view that simply must be documented? We want to hear from you! Send us your very best tips for roads we should include in our route this summer. Let’s find the most beautiful detours in Europe together, so we can take you along on the journey through our lens.

The journey from Innertkirchen to Airolo takes you through the heart of the Swiss Alps and across some of Europe's most iconic mountain passes. This route is renowned for its dramatic scenery, technical driving, and historical significance.
The trip begins in the idyllic village of Innertkirchen in the Bernese Oberland. From here, you head straight into the alpine heights via the Grimsel Pass. The road snakes through a wild granite landscape characterized by crystal-blue lakes like Grimselsee and the massive dams that provide the region with hydroelectric power. At the pass's highest point (2,164 meters above sea level), you can stop at a small marmot park and enjoy a spectacular view of the surrounding peaks.
After descending to Gletsch, you reach the foot of the legendary Furka Pass. This is perhaps the most famous stretch of the journey, celebrated for its tight hairpins and the iconic James Bond scene from the film "Goldfinger." Along the way, you pass the historic Hotel Belvédère, dramatically situated right next to the steadily receding Rhone Glacier. At the summit of the Furka Pass (2,429 meters), the landscape opens up with sweeping views toward the Urseren Valley.
From Andermatt, the journey continues south toward the Italian-speaking canton of Ticino via the historic Gotthard Pass. Here, you can choose the modern road or follow the old, cobblestoned Tremola road, an engineering masterpiece with 24 hairpin turns climbing up the mountainside. Upon arriving in Airolo, you notice the transition to a more Southern European atmosphere. The town is a perfect starting point for hikes in the Gotthard massif or a visit to the National Gotthard Museum, which tells the story of how this pass connected Northern and Southern Europe.

The journey up Brekkedalen on a beautiful spring day is an experience that truly awakens the senses as winter releases its grip and the mountains stir to life. The trip begins deep in the valley floor, where the river flows fresh with meltwater and the first green buds adorn the birch trees along the way. The crisp spring air carries a very special tranquility, and in the bright sunshine, the remnants of snow glisten on the steep mountainsides surrounding the valley.
As you move further up into the dramatic landscape, the view opens up toward majestic peaks still wearing their white winter caps. The contrast between the dark rock faces, the azure sky, and the vibrant green meadows at the bottom of the valley is at its most beautiful this time of year. Along the way, you can stop by idyllic mountain farms that bear witness to ancient alpine farming culture, and perhaps catch a glimpse of the small mountain dwellers emerging after a long hibernation. The silence is only interrupted by the sound of distant waterfalls cascading down the cliffs with renewed power from the spring thaw.
Reaching the higher reaches of Brekkedalen, you truly feel at one with the untouched nature of Western Norway. Here, the surroundings are raw and magnificent, yet warm in the spring sun. It is a journey that offers space for both reflection and admiration, showcasing the Norwegian mountains at their most welcoming before summer fully sets in.

Road Trip to the Edge of the World: Kirkenes to Varanger

Join us on an unforgettable road trip starting from the historic border town of Kirkenes and heading out into the raw nature of the Varanger Peninsula. We are embarking on this journey along one of Norway’s most unique National Scenic Routes during August, capturing the transition from the bright summer nights to the golden hues of late summer. This is a time when the mighty Barents Sea meets a wilderness preparing for the change of seasons, and we will explore everything from the special atmosphere in Vadsø and Vardø to the powerful Steilneset Memorial. We are taking you all the way to the end of the road at the abandoned fishing village of Hamningberg, where the route winds through a surreal lunar landscape unlike anywhere else in the country.

This is just the beginning of a major adventure here on the channel, and you can look forward to the full videos from the trip being released throughout the rest of the summer and into autumn. We will be sharing unique moments from the journey, encounters with the rich coastal wildlife, and the dramatic nature that defines this northeastern corner of Norway during these beautiful August days. Through our upcoming episodes, you will see what it is like to drive through open tundras and weathered rock formations as we document our progress step by step. Make sure to subscribe to the channel and turn on notifications now so you are ready when the first videos from Finnmark drop later this season.

Have you ever dreamed of driving to the edge of the world during the late summer light, or do you have your own memories from this route? We would love for you to share your experiences or ask questions in the comments section below.
