The Utsikten is a lookout point located in Norway that provides drivers with a temporarily immersive experience into the mountains without actually having to visit them. This is thanks to the design of the viewpoint that expands far out into the mountainside allowing consumers to get close, while still experience the large scale beauty of the space.
The viewpoint is located off of the side of a roadway, allowing visitors to the area to pull over and enjoy the scenic surroundings. The Utsikten stretches much farther than the ledge of the rock does, into the 1500-meter tall mountains, seaside and canyons located across and below. The viewpoint allows consumers to have a quicker experience of the mountains and take photos and video as if they were there. Photo Credits: designboom, zumthor.tumblr
