The south entrance to the Berg Tunnel on the east side of the Fjærland Fjord. It was built in 1994 and is 2591 metres long. On the other side of the fjord we see a place called Mundal where the ancestors of the US vice president 1977–81 Walter Mondale lived. In 1986 the US politician visited Norway to officially open Fjærland Tunnel (below) 11–12 kilometres further north.

The Lærdal tunnel, 24509 metres and the world's longest road tunnel., finished in the year 2000. To alleviate the monotony, two illuminated extensions was included, one of them shown here. The tunnel runs from Aurland northeast to Lærdalsøyri. However, here are more tunnels to enjoy. Thus, if you drive westwards from Aurland, the first one is the Fenja Tunnel (5053 metres), and next comes the Gudvangen Tunnel (11428 metres).

In summer the Lærdal tunnel may be avoided by driving above it, on a 48 kilometer Nationa Tourist Road between Aurland and Lærdal, often called "the Snow Road". The maximum altitude of the road is 1306 meter. As an extra bonus you'll get a splendid view of the Aurland fjord from the steep and winding road up from Aurland, most conveniently from Stegasteinen viepoint (you can't miss it).
