Trollstigen

The Trollstigen is a narrow and winding mountain road which in overcomes a steep rock wall, climbing with a series of serpentines (some only wide enough to let one car pass) 405 metres of height difference, starting from the Isterdalen valley. The overall road connects Åndalsnes with Valldal. At the viewpoint above the cliffs, at 700m of altitude, there is a visitor centre from where a staircase leads down to a viewing platform. The Trollstigen road was opened in 1936 after eight years of construction.
