Trollstigen, Route 63, Norway

Trollstigen or Troll's Ladder is a spectacular National Tourist Route. The climb from Andalsnes to the top has 11 hairpin turns on a very narrow and steep road. From there the road travels across a high mountainous area to drop steeply back to sea level at Valldal. At Linge you cross Norddalsfjorden on a ferry to Eidsal.  You again climb high up in the mountains to drop down to sea level on an even steeper and narrower section of the road called Ornevegen or the Eagle Road. From Geiranger on Geirangerfjorden you once again climb steeply into the mountains with fabulous views in every direction. This was the most scenic drive we have done in Norway.
