Unique convertible tour through the Norwegian mountain world

1st Stage: From Åndalsnes to Trollstigen – The legendary ascent

The convertible tour starts in Åndalsnes, a charming town on the Romsdalsfjord, often referred to as the "Alpine town by the fjord." Shortly after the start, the backdrop impresses with steep mountain slopes and deep gorges.

After a few kilometers on the convertible road trip, the legendary Trollstigen ascent begins with its eleven hairpin turns winding along steep mountain slopes. At the top, you are greeted by an impressive viewing platform overlooking the 320-meter-high Stigfossen waterfall and the winding asphalt ribbon of the route.

2nd Stage: From Trollstigen to Valldal – Natural wonders along the way

After the spectacular descent, the convertible route continues through the beautiful Valldal valley. The landscape changes from rocky mountains to fertile fruit orchards for which the valley is famous.

A worthwhile stop is the Gudbrandsjuvet gorge, where the water squeezes through a narrow, rocky passage. The bridge offers a breathtaking view of this natural phenomenon.

Shortly after, you reach Valldal, a quiet village on the Norddalsfjord, which serves as the endpoint of the convertible tour. Here you can relax, enjoy the fresh sea air, and indulge in culinary delights.

Tips for your convertible tour

Drive carefully, as the Trollstigen has narrow curves and steep ascents in places. Extra caution is advised, especially on wet roads. It is worthwhile to travel early in the morning or late in the afternoon to avoid heavy traffic and to take advantage of the best lighting for photos.

Pack weatherproof clothing, as the weather in the mountains can change quickly. A pair of sunglasses is also recommended, as the low sun can dazzle on winding roads.

The best time to visit for this convertible tour is from June to September, when the Trollstigen is open. Outside of this time, the road is closed due to snow.

A power bank for your smartphone or a camera with an extra battery is worth it, as you will find many spectacular photo opportunities on your convertible journey.
