Gaularfjellet is a mountain area in central Vestland county, Norway. The mountains is crossed by the border between the municipalities of Sunnfjord and Sogndal. Norwegian County Road 613 (formerly County Road 13, Norwegian National Road 13 and Norwegian National Road 5) crosses the mountains through a pass that follows the river Gaula, and has a hairpin road.[2][3] Before the Høyanger tunnel was opened in 1982, a ferry over the fjord or the road over Gaularfjellet were the only accesses to Balestrand, although the road was closed in the winter earlier on.
