About This Route
Combine two of Norway's most spectacular roads: Trollstigen (Troll's Ladder) with its eleven hairpin bends climbing a near-vertical mountainside, and the Atlantic Road that leaps across islands on dramatic bridges. These routes showcase Norway's fjords, waterfalls, and the incredible engineering that connects remote coastal communities.
