About location

Built around the high mountain road linking eastern Norway with Stryn, Grotli grew into a small roadside settlement on Route 15. At about 915 metres above sea level, it stands beside Grotlivatnet in a broad upland basin of birch woodland, bogs and open mountain ground. Route 15 is an important east–west crossing between the Gudbrandsdalen area and Nordfjord, giving Grotli its role as a stopping point on a long mountain journey. The historic Gamle Strynefjellsvegen branches west from Grotli towards Videsæter; completed in 1894, this stone-built road is now a Norwegian Scenic Route. Nearby Breheimen National Park protects a large area of glaciers, valleys and high plateaux, while the road west begins the descent towards Stryn and the Nordfjord district.
