Three buses drove up to the Jotunfjell camp school with 120 students before the landslide occurred on Wednesday. The buses did not get back down the same road. – Two of the buses drove around Sogndal to return to Lom. The third one did not have enough fuel, so it was left there, says teacher at the camp school, Bj\u00f8rg Lund. Those who were going home from work on Wednesday afternoon made their way past the crash site. Huge stone block Raset walked on county road 55 in B\u00f8verdalen a little after 10 o’clock on Wednesday morning. The popular tourist road over Sognefjellet is now closed a little east of the village of Galdesand. It will take several days to clean up. Geologists have found a boulder of around 50 cubic meters up the mountainside that must be removed. RAS: Here the stones have come loose from the mountainside and tumbled down onto the road.

An area 150 meters above the road must be secured and equipment rigged. – Once we have brought down unstable stones and earth masses, it will take some time to remove the rubble from the road. There is also damage to the road surface and railings, which must be repaired before normal traffic can flow there, says Sande Lien. He does not think it will be possible to open the road this week and says the clearing job will probably last until next week. IT TAKES TIME: Construction manager in Innlandet County Municipality, Andreas Sunde Lien, says there is a lot that needs to be secured and cleared before the road can be reopened. Photo: Even Lus\u00e6ter \/ news 40 miles detour The 120 pupils and teachers who are at the camp school right now are going home again on Friday. They have a long journey home. – We have buses going down to Oslo tomorrow, so they will probably have to go around Sogndal, says teacher at the camp school, Bj\u00f8rg Lund. A detour of 40 miles. – Yes, it will in any case be many extra hours for a seventh-grader on the bus. The students were out on a trip today and Bj\u00f8rg Lund doesn’t think they think much about the trip home. It is worse with those who are going to camp school next week. They must wait until the road is reopened and, in the worst case, may lose their entire stay. CONCERNED: Teacher at the camp school, Bj\u00f8rg Lund, is concerned about the preparedness and the distance to a doctor while the road is closed. Photo: news Preparedness People who live opposite the landslide in B\u00f8verdalen have problems getting to work and school. There are no detours in the direction of Lom. But people are solution-oriented and many get by by walking on the other side of the river and being picked up by car there. Mayor of Lom, Bjarne Eiolf Hol\u00f8, says the municipality has preparedness in place in case of emergency situations. DAMAGE: The rock slide covers the entire road and has caused extensive damage. Photo: Even Lus\u00e6ter \/ news Far from a doctor Precisely, acute situations, illness or injury, are what worry the teachers at the camp school the most. – Now it is Gaupna and Sogndal that are the closest to having a doctor’s office. It is a drive of just over two hours to Gaupne and two and a half hours to Sogndalsfj\u00f8ra. DISTANCES: The stones have come loose high up on the mountainside. The only “detour” is to drive around Sogndal on the other side of the mountain. Photo: Inlandet drone preparedness, Morten Hammeren The camp school had a meeting about preparedness on Thursday morning. Bj\u00f8rg Lund says they are happy that it is possible to call the air ambulance if there is something serious. – It’s clear that it’s stressful that you can’t get to the doctor, it’s that much time we usually have even then down to Lom and Otta, so we feel it, yes, says Lund.
