Welcome to our must-see excursion, Trollstigen, The Land Of The Trolls. This is a 6-hour- and 30-minute trip with many breathtaking photo shoot stops. We offer 7 stops. We do sell water, sodas, and some snacks on our buses.

WHAT'S INCLUDED

WHAT TO EXPECT

1. Skodje Bridges
5. Our first stop will be the old Skodje bridges. We stop on one side and you can hike through the area over 2 bridges and a tunnell. The bus will wait for you on the other side.
2.
10. ViewPoint by the sea On our way to ViewPoint by the sea, we pass the old Rose Church in Stordal. Built in year 1789. Another fantastic ViewPoint close to Liabygda. Down to the left, you can see a salmon fishfarm, to the right, we see the town Stranda where the Grandiosa pizza-factory is located. Across the fjord, we see the fjord going to Geiranger and Hellesylt. Up on the mountain to the left, you can see the mountain farm Skrednakken. This is the farm our Norwegian Queen Sonja visited some years ago. Don't forget to take some nice photos.
3. Gudbrandsjuvet
20. Gudbrandsjuvet is a river gorge in the river Valldøla. The watery river flows between gorges and cracks in the mountain and meets from rather unexpected angles, before it flows under the bridge and plunges further down the valley. The gully is partly formed by several large potholes. The water feature is a tourist attraction, and platforms and bridges have been built in a mixture of glass and rust-corroded iron in both walls and floors. Here is a cafeteria and also free toilets available. You must try their Salmon baguette. So good !
4.
25. The old bridge by Krikebrua Mother Nature ! I think this is one of the most fantastic stop on our trip. We stop on a small place with a free toilet and some benches for lunch. Then we hike together about 3 to 4 minutes on the other side of the road. There we will see an old bridge (built in 1891) and a gorgeous waterfall and river above. The bridge is built of rocks only. No concrete or steel inside the construction. Mini Lunch with Norwegian lefse, coconut bun and hot coffee/tea will be served here. You may bring your Mini Lunch in the bus. Please use the bins in the bus for your garbage.
5.
30. Trollstigen ViewPoints is the main stop on our trip. There are 2 ViewPoints available, one is about 5 Minutes of walking, and the best one is about 10 Minutes of walking from the bus. The path to these viewpoints is laid in concrete and has solid safety fences around it. A souvenir shop and free toilets are also available in Trollstigen. There is also a cefeteria selling sandwiches, coffee and soft-ice cream. Also hot meals are available here.
6. Trollstigen foothill viewpoint
35. Down from Trollstigen You will see 11 hairpin curves on our way down from Trollstigen. We will also cross Stigfoss bridge on our way. All curves are named after people who built the road. Trollstigen was opened for traffic in 1936. This is one of the best stops (again), and we stop under the Trollstigen looking upwards the mountains and waterfalls. Just stunning in my opinion !! You may also see the best ViewPoint on the top hanging out from the mountain. Remember, this is The Land Of The Trolls !
7.
40. Trollstigen Gjestegård Here you will see many famous Trolls, buy a soft-ice cream or just use the free bathrooms. Edmund Meyer (on the picture) is the owner of this wonderful place. How many trolls in total can you see here at Trollstigen Gjestegård ? The boss of the Trollsl is located on the other side of the road (on the top of the rock there). This is the last stop, before we return back to Ålesund again.

This tour exceeded my expectations and was a highlight of the 2 weeks I spent in Norway. Trond was entertaining and knowledgeable being a native of the area. There was a picnic snack served which was just enough. We made numerous stops and all were incredible, there was a road side stand selling fruit - the rasberries were huge and delish! I highly recommend this day tour. I have way too many photos but will post a few.

Loved the tour! The troll road was closed but we enjoyed the alternate route, very picturesque. We had sun, rain and snow. I would have liked to hear more about life in Norway, but that is just a personal preference.

The tour was great.
Unfortunately the road to Trollstigen was closed due to heavy snow .
But the company had a plan b
We visited mountains, fjords and crossed 3 fjords on ferries.
The weather was bad.
Raining , snowing and cold.
If was was better weather the scenery would have been spectacular.
But we had a great day.
The driver was fabulous and gave us lots of information on many d subjects.
I would highly recommend this company and the tour.
It was one of the best tours we did in Norway.
Thanks.

Our Trollstigen trip was cancelled because of road closure as the wintery weather arrived early. We were offered an alternate tour route and were so glad we proceeded with it. A full day of sightseeing with three ferry crossings and lunch. It was a really great day out and we got to see some amazing scenery that we wouldn’t have seen otherwise… fjords, snow (yay!!!), beautiful little villages and landscapes and ended in Ålesund after a trip up the look out. The service was top class and our driver was local and obviously very knowledgeable. Loved his commentary and especially the more personal stories that one could relate to. Wouldn’t hesitate to book with LocalTrips AS again or recommend them to others. What a special part of the world. The scenery is breathtaking!

Unfortunately Trollstigen was closed due to the weather on the day of our tour. Trong sent us an email the day before advising us of that fact and offering us an alternative tour or we could cancel. We decided to go on the alternative trip to Norangsdalen & Fiords and thoroughly enjoyed it. We were given a schedule and it was followed perfectly and we arrived back at the port in plenty of time for our ship’s departure. If I’m ever back in the area I would definitely use them again. Highly recommend!!!

I am so glad we chose his tour! The tour bus only holds maybe 16 people and super comfy. Trond was a wonderful guide. He told us about all the sites we visited, taught us about Norwegian culture and some funny/bad dad-jokes. I highly recommend this tour!
