Route 6: Trollstigen
It is recommended that GPS is set to select the fastest route and any avoidance turned off in order for the route to be calculated as described.
This route is rich in great driving and nature experiences and you should make sure you have enough time to enjoy all the sights, not just drive past them! Driving-wise, this route is not particularly difficult, but you should have some driving experience to enjoy it. If you don't have any experience, you'll certainly get a lot out of this tour, which is often ridden with an adventure bike. The section between Lesja and Lom is on a nice, hard-packed gravel road.
It's always fun to drive up Ørnevegen, but one of the driving highlights is definitely the climb from Valldal up to the lookout point at Trollstigen, which is simply spectacular. The wow feeling continues on the way down to Åndalsnes where you can enjoy the ride to Romsdalseggen by cable car, or thunder further up Romsdalen to enjoy Trollveggen.
The trip up Romsdalen offers delightful curves and intense sensory impressions that indicate that the radar should be turned on, because you need to experience this in addition to the driving experience! At Lesje, you turn onto Slådalsvegen which takes you over to Vågåmo, an absolutely fantastic mountain pass that is especially fun to drive for those who also love gravel (if you don't like gravel, you can drive around Dombås and Sel over to Vågåmo, also fun). From Vågåmo, the trip goes down the north side of Vågåvatnet lake to charming Lom, which is in every way a delightful place for the taste buds.
The trip from here goes through a quiet section to Skjåk where you can stop at a private tractor museum just after you pass Nordberg, or enjoy the absolutely delightful "sweepers" on the way up to Grotli and eventually the biggest highlight of the trip, which is Dalsnibba, an experience not to be missed!
From here, you have about 100 very fun turns back down to the hotel where you can enjoy new taste experiences or perhaps a spa treatment in the lovely facility after a long day in the seat. You're sure to sleep well!
