Enjoy a scenic panoramic drive through lush valleys and dramatic mountains, past rivers and waterfalls to Trollstigheimen.
Setting off from the beautifully situated village of Åndalsnes, you'll head along the Rauma River as mountains rise up dramatically on both sides. Mount Romsdalshorn, at 5,000 feet, is on one side, with Trolltindane at 5,100 feet on the other. You'll drive close to the famous Troll Wall, with its sheer vertical overhang.
Crossing the Sogge Bridge, you'll approach the Isterdal Valley, surrounded by impressive mountains with majestic names, such as The King, The Queen and The Bishop. Further up the valley, reach the Trollstigen Road (Path of the Trolls), which winds and climbs in a series of 11 hairpin bends to reach the top of the Trollstigen Road.
A photo stop in the valley allows you to admire the lovely, cascading 590-foot Stigfoss Waterfall.
Up the pass, at Trollstigheimen, enjoy magnificent views over the wild, unspoiled mountains and the Isterdal Valley.
Pause for refreshments of coffee, tea and cakes.
Notes:
Tour consists mainly of sightseeing from the transportation. Stops (if any) are brief, and participants can remain in the vehicle. Participants must be able to climb a few steps unassisted to board the transportation. Children under the age of 3 must be secured in a child's car seat on the transportation. These are not available through the tour operator; you must bring your own from home.
