Norway Trollstigen Mountain Pass - Riding The Trolls Road 63
Вставка
- Опубліковано 3 жов 2023
- This is The Trollstigen, Norway - Norway's most jaw-dropping road! In todays motorcycling adventure, join us as we ride the BMW R 1250 GSA through the legendary Trollstigen (Trolls Road) and explore the stunning landscapes that Norway has to offer.
Starting our journey at the Hotel Utsikten in Geirang, we embark on an exhilarating ride through the twists and turns of Trollstigen. As we ascend the mountain, the Trolls Path Viewpoint provides us with awe-inspiring panoramic views of the surrounding fjords and mountains.
Along the way, we make a pit stop to admire the Trollstigen motorbike statue, a symbol of the road's rich motorcycling heritage. The statue pays homage to the daredevils who have conquered Trollstigen on two wheels.
After conquering the Trollstigen, we continue our adventure by taking the Afarnes-Solsnes Ferry.

I went in 2018 it was clear blue skies & the view from Dalsnibba was stunning. I had a day & half of rain in three weeks on the bike so I was lucky. If you head for Spain you know it will be dry, but Norway is a big gamble weather wise.
Wow that’s a good run of weather 😎🙌🏻. Yeah always a gamble for Norway but without the rain it wouldn’t be so beautiful 😊. For most of the time the weather didn’t really bother us as we were so excited just to be there, fortunately when we needed good weather (with the exception of this day lol) it was great.
Yeah we had been to Spain prior to this trip and had 3 weeks of sun. Funny thing is we just got back from touring the UK and Ireland and had 1 rainy day in 4 weeks! 😁
Hope you are enjoying the Playlist 😎👍🏻
I wish you would've seen these sights without all the rain and mist, but I'm sure it was incredible regardless :)
Yeah this road we would have liked to have seen without the rain, we are glad the mist cleared when we got to the bottom so we could at least see the waterfall -not to worry we will just have to go back again 😊
I love it out there. Watching this brought back memories of my trip up to lofoten. My trip on the trollstigen was a lot sunnier so I was gutted for you but then I've never done Switzerland 🇨🇭
Hi, yeah it’s spectacular up there! So glad it brought back memories for you, really unforgettable rides!
Yeah it was a shame about the rain although we didn’t mind so much as we ride roads like that all the time here In Switzerland. Here’s one of our favourites 😊👍🏻

Amazing scenery
It was spectacular! Such an amazing country to travel through 😎👍
awsome to watching you guys exploring. love all the video got my sub.
Hi, thank you for your comment! We are really happy to hear you like our videos and we appreciate your Sub! Glad yo have you along for the journey.

Nice, nice, nice. Sean I recommend E5. Is better for your fuelpump. Greetings Hans, ducatispecialist
Hi Hans, thanks for the recommendation and we hope you are enjoying the series -always good to have a Motorcycle specialist watching to answer any technical questions =)
We try and put E5 in when we can =)
Cheers
Sean and Emily
. Bad weather for you, but love to follow your trip. When you come north of Trondheim, hope you are driving RV17 costelroad. Fantastic in sun, in rain I dont know
Hi yeah we didn't get off to a good start with the weather but fun none the less =) Thanks for following our trip and we are glad you are enjoying it. From Trondheim we plan to head into Sweden then back into Norway and head up to Bodo. I don't think we will have time to do a lot of the R17 as we want to stop by the Artic circle center but it will be on our list for next time if we don't ride it on this trip.
Cheers
Sean and Emily
😎💙👍sorry for the bad weather you are experiencing! Hope for som nice weather in the north!
Thanks! -still having the time of our life in the rain 😁 The weather gets better as we head north -we even get some sun!
Cheers
Sean and Emily
Emily the troll, that’s not very kind is it🤣, Lol! The drone footage really gives a sense of scale, it really is epic. Kudos to you Sean for your riding skills, a fully loaded GS two-up around some of those hairpins at not much more than walking pace speaks highly of your riding abilities, great job, obviously you are mindful you have a valuable pillion too😀. Really hoping the weather improves soon, Stay safe 👏👍😀🏍
Haha 😆 Don’t worry Sean paid for it later 🤣
Yeah you’re right, from the sky it really puts it into perspective.
Thanks very much -that’s good of you to say, it was getting slippy at times too but yeah previous cargo onboard 😊.
The weather gets better soon as we head further north (actually thought it would get worse as we went north).
Thanks for your comment!
Cheers
Sean and Emily
All I can say is WOW! Thanks again for sharing and ride safe.
Hi Brian, Thanks! This was a great day riding and was an amazing day. Glad you enjoyed watching.
Thanks for commenting
Sean and Emily
Excellent ride again!
I drove the Trollstigen upwards in 2019. It was a little cloudy when we were down in the valley, but while I drove up, the clouds disappeared and we could see the valley and all the beauty of the place. After that I drove over the mountains to Geiranger.
Thanks buddy! Not going to lie we were a bit disappointed when we saw how cloudy it was. It did add to the mystery of the ride and at least we could see the waterfall at the bottom, although the drone was getting a bit wet in the mist. But yeah a great ride and up to the Geiranger is lots of fun too!
Glad you had good weather and i'm sure we will return here again someday.
Anyway it made our Epic road Blog section on our website which is just a bit of fun =)

@@SeanandEmily Thanks, that was nice reading while drinking morning coffee.
I recommend to watch this video about opening Trollstigen on spring:
ua-cam.com/video/lG8jDu0xyQk/v-deo.html
cool thanks, those machines that cut tunnels in the snow are awesome! They do this hear in Switzerland with all of the mountain passes and it's so cool to ride through the tunnels of snow. These roads take a lot of looking after which is something people don't see so this was a great video to let people know why the roads take a while to open.
cheers
Love you guys as a couple...I had to sell my R1 last year but now all I have in my mind is to buy something like an Africa Twin and hit the road. Just hoping my life to get better...stay safe.
Thanks very much! As much as i love the buzz the supers sports give touring becomes so much more enjoyable and relaxing on a bike like that so we would definitely recommend it. Thanks again and we with you all the best!
Cheers
Sean and Emily
Great to watch guys. Some road that Troll road. I rode it 20 years ago. Still looks as good today. Enjoy your trip 👍
Hi Martin, we are glad to hear it hasn't changed. We wonder if it was less busy 20 years again, must have been a great experience! Thanks for your comment.
Cheers
Sean and Emily
Great video!
My wife and I did Trollstigen on our e-bikes four years ago. We got the descent on film and on You Tube. It was fantastic! In stead of taking the E39 from Kristiansund to Trondheim, I would take road 680. It's far more scenic. Good luck! :)
Thanks! That must have been fun on the E bike! -a friend of ours is currently going around the world on an e bike -Nick Sanders.
Thanks for the tip, we will be taking the Atlantic road but i don't think we will have time for the 680 after Kristiansund (maybe next time -there's so much to see =)
Thanks for your comment and hope to hear from you again.
Cheers
Sean and Emily
Hotel looked nice amazing road and scenery! Despite the rain and mist, hope you both enjoying the trip! I am loving watching 👍
Hi John, Yeah the hotel was really nice -a much needed treat after those big days battling the weather. The rain and mist actually added to the atmosphere especially as the waterfalls and roads magically came into view! -we are having the best time thanks!
Cheers
Sean and Emily
we were lucky 😀, the weather was just right for us
That's great! It would have been nice to be able to see more than 5 meters when going down that road lol 😀. We are just happy that it cleared up when we got to the bottom enough to see the waterfall!
Glad you had a great trip and thanks for watching.
Sean and Emily
Had that boring weather when me and my wife was there in the end of july but we will go again next summer. 😊
I hope you get better weather next summer! It's always a risk but the weather got better from here on (almost lol)
Cheers
Sean and Emily
Despite the weather, just another video of Norway (along with AndyManCam’s series) making it an absolute riding must do… someday 😉
Fortunately the weather cleared up and we got blue skies. Such an amazing place to document and definitely a must ride location!
Here’s the full playlist 😎👍🏻

@@SeanandEmily Yes, keeping some to watch during the long winter bikeless evenings ✌️But watching last week vid (Helsinki - Tallin) you seem to be enjoying riding in the rain though 😅
There should be 40 videos in this playlist by the time we are done so hopefully that should keep you going through winter =)
haha it will take more than rain to break our spirits lol 😅 Fortunately we got most of the rain at beginning of the trip when we were super excited about going to Norway.
Thank You
You’re very welcome, thanks for watching 😎👍🏻
Brilliant video guy's really enjoyed it I don't get chance to watch many videos but I shall be following you guys as I recovering from being knocked off my bike please take care and look forward to seeing more of your adventures:-)
Hi Craig,
Sorry to hear that! -wishing you a speedy recovery!
We are really happy to hear you enjoyed episode 8 of the heading north tour. The rest of our tours are all in playlists which makes them easier to play in order.
Thanks for watching and hope to hear form you again.
Cheers
Sean and Emily :-)
@@SeanandEmily thankyou so much I'm receiving physio at the moment so should be back on a bike soon all being well, take care and ride safe and most of all enjoy ❤️👍
Glad to hear you are being looked after 👍
Cheers
Sean and Emily
That's absolutely epic place to ride, my itinerary for next year to North cape. I always go to the more expensive E5 fuel. E10 doesn't have a pull esp in high altitude.
Hi, yeah it was indeed epic! -the weather made it feel even more adventurous. We too are heading to the Nordkapp, we put most of the locations in the Description as time stamps in case you need it, otherwise we will put the whole route on our website when we get back.
I go for E5 too -i didn't know that the E10 wasn't so good at high altitudes.
Thanks for your comment and catch you again sometime.
Cheers
Sean and Emily
I stumbled onto your channel and I am so far really enjoying the content you are making - it feels like we are with you on the journey.
I hated when I put shell E10 in my car so I stick with v power E5.
Hi Darren and welcome to our Channel! Thanks for your comment and that's really encouraging to hear that it feels like you are part of the journey! new episode every Wed, Sat and Sun.
That seems to be everyone's opinion, we will continue to put E5 in when we can.
Cheers
Sean and Emily
Beautiful views amazing
Respect from islamabad Pakistan
Thanks so much! And cool as always to have views from Pakistan! 😎🙌🏻
U welcome dear
Absolutely right dear
Normally I try to use 98 which always is E5 but it's not available everywhere. In Sweden the gas is 19:84 swedish krona now which is the same in Norwegian krona. When we rode to Lofoten this summer the gas was 26-27 Norwegian krona 😬
Ouch! Fuel prices have shot right up the last couple of years. Yeah i think once or twice we had to use E10 but most places had the 98 so that's good.
Cheers
Sean and Emily
I like your videos ❤
Thanks! Hope you enjoy this one! 😎🙌🏻
Love your videos! Would you mind sharing your camera and microphone configuration?
Hi, many thanks for your comment and we are glad to hear you enjoy them!

@@SeanandEmily Thank You for the link! Your audio while on the bike is spot on! Are you using lavalier mic's connected to the DJI wireless mic? For you video since neither one of you have a helmet mounted action camera it appears as though you are holding the camera the entire time, is that the case?
Yes that's correct the Lavaliers are connected to the DJI mics =)
Sean, you should know that trolls turn to stone if exposed to sunlight...So... Emily, be careful..😊
Haha 😂 -why do you think we only ride when it’s overcast and raining 😁
Cheers
Sean and Emily
Thanks for yet another interesting clip.
Your video is so sharp! How does it comes out like that?
I have the Insta x3 and the videos come out not as clear and even some blurr in a distance. What do I do wrong? For the reference, I do it in 4k/25 w/screen protector.
Thanks.
Hey Felix, thanks very much! -it was extra tricky keeping things sharp in the rain lol.
We’ve never used an insta x3 so not sure really, we used the GoPro Hero11 on 4K/60 so perhaps you can up the frame rate 🤔.
Hope that helps!
Cheers
Sean
too bad it was so foggy and cloudy. otherwise, norway is very beautiful
Norway is always beautiful no matter the weather! The fog made it more of an adventure 💪🏻😊
I tank 1 in every 4 with E5 mainly because of the price difference,here in The Netherlands we have the highest price for petrol in Europe.
Btw,when doesn't it rain in Norway?!!
Hi Richard, that’s a good idea 👍🏻-who knows the long term effects (hopefully none) Here In Switzerland we pretty much only have the E5 but I guess it will change eventually.
Lol I think we had the rain at the beginning of the trip as it gets better soon 😊
Thanks for your comment!
Sean and Emily
Mostly nonsense talked by scare mongerers about E10....they've been using E25 in Brazil. E5 however has a slightly higher calorific value than E10 so gives a bit more mpg so is worth using dependent on the price differential. I live mostly in Germany and there are 4 variations....including mega expensive 98 octane.
Lot's of different opinions about it indeed. All motorcycle mechanics i have spoke to don't like it but as you say some places have used it for a while. Whilst the price is similar i will continue to put the E5 in.
Yeah Germany can be pricey for fuel -especially if you accidently put that Shell V power racing 100 in lol!
Trolls ladder.
Another name for this great road! 💪🏻😊
@@SeanandEmily yes that's the translation
Thanks 😎🙌🏻
