Aursjøvegen
This is a beautiful, but demanding car trip along the Aursjø mountain road. The road is mainly a single-lane gravel road. make sure to take your camera. The road is only open between 1. June until the first snow falls. It is a toll road with a fee of 100 Norwegian kroners for cars. Cars with caravans should not try to drive the road and campers should check if they fit the tunnels and swings. Only 4500 cars/motorcycles come here each year, it is kind of a "secret" - it is a bit off the beaten path. Just the tour to get there from Eresfjord is beautiful. This is also my recommendation, to start in Eikesdalen and end in Litldalen (Sunndal).
You will find some more informastion about this road online. They have their own web page with information. Parts of the road will go through a biotope reserva-tion (animal life is protected there) but you can drive on the main road and go for hikes as everywhere in Norway.
Two national parks are close (but the road doesn't touch them), you can read more about these online.
As allways while caching, show respect for the environment. Future generations will thank you.

In the middle of the western part of Dovrefjell is Aursjøhytta as a link between the Sunndal mountains, Romsdal Mountains and Tafjordfjellene. It is ownd by the Norwegian tourist association.
The landscape around the cabin is characterized by round, quiet peaks and areas with more width mark, in other words a comfortable terrain for those who like to hike or go for long and calm skiing. You shall not go many kilometers north- or west before facing west coast nature at its wildest and most beautiful, where you can go on day trips to challenging high peaks. Both Eikesdalen and Sunndalen / Litledalen has a dramatic landscape with differences in altitude of 1,800 meters over 2.3 km.
The lodge is staffed in summer, and has electricity and showers. In addition, the cafeteria with refreshments. The rest of the year is the possibility of self-catering accommodation (18 beds + sleeping loft), with living room, kitchen, electricity, hot water, shower and WC.
