Wikipedia Info:
Trollstigen (English: Trolls' Ladder) is a serpentine mountain road in Rauma, Norway, part of Norwegian National Road 63 connecting Åndalsnes 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.[1][2]
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.[4][5] 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.[6] Trollstigen itself (and the alpine summits to the west) lies within the Trollstigen landscape protection area,[7] while the alpine area east of Trollstigen (notably Trolltindene range) is part of Reinheimen National Park.[8]
Trollstigen is closed during autumn and winter. A normal opening season stretches from mid-May to October, but may sometimes be shorter or longer due to changes in the weather conditions.
In the summer of 2005 the road was repaired and about 16 million NOK was spent on protection against rockfall, making the road safer to drive on.

ALESUND + BEYOND - EXPLORING NORWAY'S WEST COAST
There are those places you visit that are once in a lifetime. Norway is one of those. And one country I will make sure I turn into a once or more a year visit, because it’s that spectacular, especially in the winter months. Exploring the Western side of Norway, Møre og Romsdal, I felt completely rejuvenated by the fresh sea and mountain air and the welcoming atmospheres. My latest trip to Norway was like living a winter dream, trying so many new things from food to snow-filled adventures. Follow my guide, or use it to forge your own path, to help you explore this breathtaking region.

Where the mountains meet the sea, Ålesund is actually made up of five smaller islands. The town is known for being a popular sea port and one of the best fishing harbors in Norway. This makes for beautiful views of the town and ocean--the best view being found with just a short hike up the hill.
In addition to the sea, the town’s architecture adds to the wonder of this place. After a fire in 1904 that destroyed much of the village, all of the buildings had to be reconstructed. As a result, most of the buildings standing today were built between 1904-1907, making Ålesund famous for its “art nouveau” architecture. By just walking around the streets, you are surrounded by beautiful buildings and sights in a lovely little town amidst the fresh sea air--trust me, there’s nothing like it.
