A sad ending to a scenic drive - Ep. 3 of the Norway Trip 2024

Trollstigen (or trollstigvegen; English: The troll path) is a serpentine mountain road and pass in Rauma Municipality, Møre og Romsdal county, Norway.
It is part of Norwegian County Road 63 that connects the town of Åndalsnes in Rauma and the village of Valldal in Norddal Municipality. It is a popular tourist attraction due to its steep incline of 10% and eleven hairpin bends up a steep mountainside. During the top tourist season, about 2,500 vehicles pass daily. During the 2012 season, 161,421 vehicles traversed the route.
The road is narrow with many sharp bends, and although several bends were widened during 2005 to 2012, vehicles over 12.4 metres (41 ft) long are prohibited from driving the road. At the 700-metre (2,300 ft) plateau there is a car park and several viewing balconies overlooking the bends. The pass has an elevation of approximately 850 metres (2,790 ft).
Trollstigen is closed during late autumn and winter. A normal operating season stretches from mid-May to October, but may sometimes be shorter or longer due to weather conditions.
In 2024 it was closed shortly after opening due to increased risk of landslides. Local authorities are working on safety measures for the 2025 season.
