Experience the iconic Trollstigen Pass on this guided bus tour, with its dramatic hairpin bends winding through lush valleys and majestic mountains.

Highlights

Drive the world-famous series of 11 hairpin bends, known as the Trollstigen Road (Path of the Trolls)

Admire soaring mountain peaks, unspoilt valleys and some of Norway’s most iconic sights

Pause at viewpoints to photograph Europe’s highest vertical mountain wall, impressive mountains and a beautiful waterfall

How it works

The village of Åndalsnes, Norway’s mountaineering capital, is our starting point. This area is home to one of Europe’s most beautiful train journeys and one of the world’s most scenic hikes, according to Lonely Planet, so prepare yourself for some spectacular scenery.

Your bus follows the Rauma River, surrounded by soaring mountains including the 5,000ft (1,500m) Mount Romsdalshorn on one side and 5,100ft (1,550m) Trolltindane on the other. Our first photo stop takes in the towering Troll Wall.

Next, you'll cross the Sogge Bridge to the Isterdal Valley, lined by mountains bearing names such as The King, The Queen and The Bishop, and approach the famous hairpin bends that climb to the top of the Trollstigen Road.

The bus will pause for a photo stop at Stigfossen Waterfall before driving up to Trollstigen. Take in the magnificent scenery from the comfort of your seat or join an optional walk to another viewpoint. You'll then slowly trace the Trollstigen bends before returning to the ship.

Excursions at this level are physically undemanding and suitable for most people. Level 2 = Moderate: some mobility needed

Excursions in this category involve a small amount of physical activity, but on easy terrain with few major challenges. Level 3 = Active: good mobility needed

Level 4 = Challenging: good mobility and fitness needed 

These are our most challenging excursions, and require a good level of fitness. They may involve hiking or biking on uneven terrain and may also require specialist equipment.
