Hi, dumb future tourist here so I apologize in advance. I’m planning a trip to the fjords for next summer. Was the first pic on this page taken by drone? Or is there a hike for this view? https://www.fjordnorway.com/en/attractions/lysebotn
If by drone, is there another dramatic hairpinned road around Bergen or Stavanger with a similar view? Trollstigen is a bit too far away for the amount of time we have.
Thank you!

On a smaller scale, check out Kossdalssvingane on Osterøy, a 50 minutes drive from Bergen.
If you check out Google Maps, you will find that the picture you are referring to appears to be taken from north-east. I don’t know if it is possible to access the side of the mountain to get to an area vith this view, but, my guess is that the picture is taken with a drone, probably by an operator standing on the viewspot referred to as “Middagskjerringå” as it seems to have some altitude to it, but still keeping the mountain in the left hand side of the picture in the frame.
Alternatively you could use a tele zoom lense from the mountain further to the north east, on the other side of the valley, behind the Lysebotn Discgolf pin on Google Maps, but it will probably not give you the same angle and altitude.
