The Trollstigen is a road through west Norwegian nature at its most powerful, with a dizzying view of sheer mountainsides, waterfalls, deep fjords and fertile valleys.
The Trollstigen Mountain Road has a steep incline of 9 percent and consists of 11 hairpin bends. Encircling the road are lofty mountains. Names such as Kongen (the King), Dronningen (the Queen) and Bispen (the Bishop) confirm their majesty.
Trollstigen has been a magnet for tourists since the road opened in 1936. Being able to drive up these steep mountainsides from Trollstigfoten to Stigerøra is thanks to the skills of engineers and road builders. The road is part of the UNESCO-protected Geirangerfjord, which is surrounded by majestic, snow-covered mountain peaks, wild waterfalls and lush, green vegetation.
