Why Trollstigen matters
Trollstigen, the Troll's Path, is a mountain road that climbs a steep hillside in eleven tight hairpin bends. A modern viewing platform at the top sticks out over the valley, giving an amazing view of the road and a waterfall. The road is open only in the summer season because of snow. Even if you don't drive it, the platform is worth a stop.
Talking points
- The road has eleven hairpin bends.
- A platform at the top overlooks the valley.
- It is closed in winter because of snow.
