TROLLSTIGEN [4K] EPIC Road Trip by Public Transport | NORWAY

The twisty Trollstigen also known as “The Troll’s Road” oozes dramatic scenery with its 11 hairpin bends and cascading waterfalls. Opened on 31 July 1936 by King Haakon VII after eight years of construction. Trollstigen is a part of route 63 between Åndalsnes and Geiranger and connects the town of Åndalsnes in Rauma to the village of Valldal in Sunnmøre.
As per the Norwegian folklore 'Trolls' are believed to be mythical creatures that live in isolated rocks or caves. Numerous tales are recorded about trolls in which they are frequently described as being extremely old, very strong, but slow and dim-witted and as turning to stone upon contact with sunlight. While the belief in trolls as real creatures has waned over the centuries their presence continues to be felt in Norway's cultural landscape.
The impressive viewing platforms allow visitors to peer down onto the road and valley below.The pass is usually cleared and open from late May to mid-October although it's entirely dependent on the seasonal snowfall. In June 2021Telia Norge commissioned an eco-friendly mobile base station powered entirely by solar, wind and hydrogen therefore providing mobile phone coverage at Trollstigen for the first time ever. There is a cafe, souvenir shop and toilets near the parking area.
We took Fram bus from Geiranger Village (opposite Union Hotel) till Åndalsnes and the driver stopped at the top of Trollstigen for us to enjoy the beauty of the same. He hails from Åndalsnes and gave interesting information about the area. The journey from Geiranger to Åndalsnes offers spectacular views of rugged and wild landscape of dramatic mountains which cover much of the landscape, waterfalls and crossing of a Fjord by ferry. We will post our experience of bus journey from Geiranger to Åndalsnes in a separate video.
The bus along with other vehicles entered a ferry from Eidsdal till Linge to cross Norddalsfjorden. Buses in Norway are cheaper than trains and you'll be reliant on them in more rural areas. The bus network is efficient but there are far fewer services on weekends and outside of the high season (June to August).
