Norway: Troll Road, Trollstigen - Scenic Drive

[Boringchap]

Trollstigen, is a serpentine mountain road in Norway - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trollstigen

 

We stopped at the port of Alesund, Norway, while on a cruise. That day was a long cruise stop day, so there was time for us to rent a car, which we did in advance.

 

Originally we were supposed to get a Toyota Prius equivalent. We were given a complimentary upgrade to a BMW 520d Touring model, so good for me.

 

Driving to the Troll Road and back was fun. The hairpin turns look scary, but they were not difficult at all. In fact, I think it is more challenging to drive up to Genting. Nevertheless, the experience was fun.

 

Here is a video I made of the adventure to Trollstigen. Driving down the hairpin turns start at the 8:32 mark.

 

Some more information on the blog post, for all those interested.

The hairpin turns, from the lookout. Not that hard, just drive slowly.
