One of Norway’s most impressive attractions, the Trollstigen mountain road, has reopened to traffic after being closed for necessary repair work. This spectacular scenic route once again draws visitors eager to experience the thrill of driving through the wild landscapes of western Norway.

A Link Between Valley and Mountain

Trollstigen, meaning “The Trolls’ Road,” connects the towns of Åndalsnes and Valldal, offering breathtaking views from the deep Isterdalen Valley all the way up to the Stigøra plateau. This stretch is part of Norway’s network of most beautiful scenic roads, attracting thousands of domestic and international tourists each year.

Now Safer and More Accessible

Representatives of local tourism organizations expressed their satisfaction with the reopening, emphasizing the importance of this moment for the entire region.
