Description of the attraction
From the Geirangerfjord begins an exciting journey along the famous "Trollstigen Road", which is one of the most popular tourist routes in Norway. This road was built in 1936, it climbs the mountainside in eleven steep serpentine loops with a vertical drop of 12%. Halfway up the ascent you will cross the bridge over the Stigfossen waterfall (height 180m), from the top point of the road you will see a panoramic view of the entire valley.
For hundreds of years, this was the only route of communication with the Sunnmere fjords. Above, on the Troll Road, starting at the turn called Bispensvingen, or Bishop's Turn, there is a wonderful view of Ondalsnes and the Romsdal Fjord. From the top point of the road, next to the "Cauldrons of the Giants", a panoramic view of the entire valley opens.
Trollvegen, or "Troll Wall", is a vertical wall with a height of over 1000 m, which is considered one of the most difficult in the world to climb. It remained impregnable until 1965. Today, ascents are held both in summer and in winter.
