The Troll Road is the most visited tourist route in Norway. This route includes the famous section called Trollstigen, the Troll Ladder, or The Golden Route. From the end of June to the 10th of August, the Troll Route Museum is open. Climb up Ørnesvingen, the Eagle Bend, a ledge from which you can enjoy a last magnificent view of Geiranger and the fjord. After 20 km, take the Eidsdal-Linge ferry. The road passes through high mountain scenery for about 40 km before starting the descent to Trollstigen. For hundreds of years, an old mule track, climbing up the 180 m high Stigfossen waterfall, was the only communication route between the fjords in Sunnmøre and Romsdal counties. It is now a hiking trail (for those not prone to vertigo). The new Trollstigen road, completed in 1936, winds its way up the side of the mountain with 11 sharp bends and a gradient of 12%. The road, which closes for the winter from mid-September, is not recommended for caravans. Before starting the descent there is a mountain hut, Trollstigen Fjellstue, with a souvenir stand and a cafeteria. A footpath behind the lodge leads to a breathtaking viewpoint near the Giant's Potholes. On the road, from the bend called Bispesvingen, or Bishop's Bend, there is a beautiful view of Åndalsnes and the Romsdal Fjord.

Ça tourne mais comme c’est beau
La route est magnifique mais il faut pas avoir peur si on conduit la voiture. Profitez de belles vue, les montagnes, les cascades...

Une belle route à virages
Cette route est top. Vous avez une superbe vue sur la vallée, des cascades et quelques statues de Trolls pour des souvenirs sympas.

Magnifique
Une route qui vous porte en haut de la montagne ou vous pouvez faire une magnifique marche pour rejoindre un point de vue. Vous y verrez la route en contre bas.

Mythique!
une montée en bus impressionnante avec ces virages et ce vide sous les yeux.
des cascades tout autour, un décor de dingue.
une vue exceptionnelle si on a la chance d'avoir le temps adéquat
un point de vue sensationnel en haut
possibilité de bien manger en haut, et une jolie boutique
inévitable si on va en norvège!
