Sognefjellet

• Maybe merge content somewhere and redirect? But as an article, it would need a clearly detailed route and map, so either merge as relevant and redirect somewhere or delete. Ikan Kekek (talk) 05:45, 18 September 2021 (UTC)
• Merge to Sognefjorden, if that makes sense from a travel perspective. @Erik den yngre: thoughts? --Comment by Selfie City (talk | contributions) 13:52, 18 September 2021 (UTC)

  Route and map are probably easy to fix, as the itinerary is along a certain road (and there are good online maps for Norway). The name is misleading, as Sognefjellet is the fell, not the pass, and people do visit the fell as a destination. I'd appreciate a comment from Erik den yngre. –LPfi (talk) 14:00, 18 September 2021 (UTC)

• "Sognefjellet" is an appropriate name although some official documents may refer to "Sognefjellsveien" (just like Trollstigen is officially Trollstigveien but everybody says "Trollstigen"). The tourist route is called Sognefjellet. Sognefjellet (or more precisely the drive through the mt pass) is a distinct attraction so I am not sure if it should be merged. But there is very little content. One option is to create an article for road 55 similar to Road 63 (Norway), see Fylkesvei 55. Sognefjellet is partly in Lom district (Oppland county), partly in Luster, and runs along the perimeter of Jotunheimen - so if merge then should be mentioned in all of these.

PS: Visits in Norway (outside main cities) are often organized by drive or road number, rather than by a specific places (such as a village). We got articles on European route E39 and E6 through Sweden and Norway, which are itineraries (E6 is in fact a bit too long as a leisure trip!), whereas roads 63 and 55 are kind of destinations in themselves.

To me, the option for a Road 55 article sounds the best. --Comment by Selfie City (talk | contributions) 14:46, 18 September 2021 (UTC)

Late reply, but I personally think Rte 55 goes well as you said. I've done this route before, but it's been a while now. SHB2000 (talk | contribs | meta.wikimedia) 12:50, 2 October 2021 (UTC)

• I have now move the article and started adding content. Erik den yngre (talk) 17:56, 3 October 2021 (UTC)
