Trip to Kossdalsvingane

Take a trip up the 17 hairpin bends in Kossdalen on Osterøy. A cultural-historical road monument from the end of the 19th century.

Hosanger is just a few kilometers from Fjordslottet. From here there is a road inland that used to be the main road between Hosanger and the farms further inland on Osterøy, but is now car-free. The road is gravel, and after about 2.5 km you reach Kossdalssvingane. Here the road climbs steeply 175 meters up the valley side. Over the course of 400 meters, there are 17 hairpin bends and the average gradient is 27%. Along the way, you can enjoy the fantastic views.

The hike to Kossdalssvingane is a relatively easy hike, suitable for families with children. It takes about 1.5 hours round trip.

The tour is suitable as a walk, but you can also rent a bike at Mjøsvågen landhandleri and cycle up the steep curves.
