Sognefjell		4723/ 1440	Central Southern Norway, near Sognefjorden/ Jotunheime.	Tour of Jotun- heimen.
Spiral			Southwest of Oslo.
Spiral			This climb, a little more than a kilometer in length, has a constant grade of between 11 and 12% and ends at a mere 200 m a.s.l. The strange thing about it is that it is designed as a tunnel with six switchbacks, each pair of three switchbacks constitutes one and a half loop. Effectively this means that while climbing inside the mountain you are looping around three times. A very strange toll road that has become a tourist attraction.
Stalheims- kleivi
