"Where the trolls live"

Trollstigen | Norway | 2005

Trollstigen (English: The Troll Ladder) is a mountain road in Norway, connecting Åndalsnes in Rauma and Valldal in Norddal. It is a popular tourist attraction due to its steep incline of 9% and eleven hairpin bends up a steep mountain side. Trollstigen was opened on July 31, 1936, by King Haakon VII after 8 years of construction. Trollstigen is closed during the fall and winter months.
