Norway’s Troll’s Ladder of eleven dramatic hairpins.
Trollstigen, the Troll’s Ladder, climbs eleven tight hairpins up a sheer mountainside past the Stigfossen waterfall to a clifftop viewpoint near Åndalsnes. One of Norway’s most dramatic roads; narrow and steep, with tour traffic, cyclists, and snow that keeps it shut much of the year.
The Troll’s Ladder, eleven hairpins up a waterfall-streaked wall. One of the great drives of the north.
