Trollstigen is a serpentine mountain road
in Rauma, Norway, part of Norwegian
National Road 63 connecting Εndalsnes in
Rauma and Valldal in Norddal. It is a
popular tourist attraction due to its steep
incline of 9% and eleven hairpin bends up a steep mountain side. Trollstigen was
opened on July 31, 1936, by King
Haakon VII after 8 years of construction.
During the top tourist season about
2,500 vehicles pass daily.
The road is narrow with many sharp bends, and although several bends have
been widened during the years 2005 to
2012,[3] vehicles over 12.4 metres long
are prohibited from driving the road.
During the 2011 and 2012 seasons buses
up to 13.1 metres were temporarily allowed as a trial. At the 700 metres
plateau there is a car park and several
viewing balconies overlooking the bends
and the Stigfossen waterfall. Stigfossen
falls 320 metres down the mountain side.
The pass has an elevation of approximately 850 metres.
A major tourist facility including a
museum was completed in 2012. Several
viewing platforms have been constructed
and older constructions improved upon.
Trollstigen (along with road 63) was officially opened as a national tourist
route by the Minister of Transport and
Communications on June 16, 2012.
