From a Holland America Cruise Ship at Molde, Norway we took a bus tour called “Path of the Trolls”. We boarded a ferry to the other side of the fjord, traveled passed the sweetest strawberry fields, which were out of season, through tunnels to the beautiful canyon at Gudbrandsdjuvet. We next headed to the tourist center at Trollstigen. We walked out on to several walkways at the precipice of the Canyon, looking both up at Stigfossen Falls and down to the winding road with 11 hairpin turns to the valley in the distance below. There was breathtaking scenery fro top to bottom. I highly recommend you visit! From there we traveled the troll path to Troll Wall the highest vertical wall in Europe. We traveled back by road and ferry in this rather long 7 hour, but worthwhile venture.

The drive up this valley is absolutely breathtaking! One of the most beautiful drives we have taken in an already stunning country! Beware though, the road is narrow and not everyone understands that everyone needs to give space to each others! Lots of good hiking opportunities are also available through the valley.

We drove through here in late May and typical of Norway the scenery is stunning. Snow covered mountains, partially frozen lakes and postcard perfect panoramic views.

You can already see the eagle turns (ornesvingen) from the Geiranger cruise. It has a lot of turns and has nice view on its view point. It hasn’t much parking lot, so please be quick when you finished taking photos so others also can park their car and enjoy the view.

Reviewed By AddieHNO - Oslo, Norway
Gaularfjellet is one of the "lesser known" routes in Norway, and after having driven it I have to say O.M.G. - what a drive. Stunning up and downs, viewpoints, mountain views, lakes, valleys - such a variety. I can not recommend this drive enough.
10. Horndola Bridge
