Trollstigen - the Troll's Steps

The Trolls Steps or Trollstigen both down and up

It was supposed to be a triangular trip, but there was no bus for the last leg. So we got to go back up the ladder and do the trip from the other direction. It was driver Svein who looked after us this time.


Here comes another bus round the top bend. It needs the whole road to get round. Other traffic has to wait.

looking up to the perched viewing platform (top left), which juts out over a long drop of 200 metres to the bottom of the valley.

On the return journey the cloud had gone, making a walk to the viewing platform well worth the effort.



Approaching the platform. Made of concrete, rough and polished, and shiny steel rails and rusty metal.

The scheduled service bus makes its stop for the scheduled 25 minutes for all the tourists to have a scenic fix.










A closer look DOWN.
