GEIRANGER-TROLLSTIGEN<br />
An exceptional driving experience along a route<br />
steeped in tradition, through spectacular scen-<br />
ery of deep fjords and lush valleys – wild, won-<br />
derful and vibrant. Tourist enterprises in this region<br />
have a long tradition of arranging adventurous and<br />
memorable encounters with this untamed nature. The<br />
historic <strong>Trollstigen</strong> road, with its 11 hairpin bends, was<br />
opened in 1936, and in 2005 the <strong>Geiranger</strong>fjord was<br />
included on UNESCO’s World Heritage List. The Trollsti-<br />
gen plateau appears in new and contemporary design,<br />
with a consistent architectural profile for all buildings,<br />
trails and viewing platforms. Of all the spectacular<br />
motoring routes in the world, we dare to claim that<br />
<strong>Geiranger</strong>-<strong>Trollstigen</strong> is in the elite division.<br />

18 NATIONAL TOURIST ROUTES. Each of these<br />
selected routes represents a unique motoring<br />
experience, and each offers its own special<br />
combination of road, scenery and history.<br />
Our job is to ensure that you have an<br />
enjoyable journey. We do this by<br />
constructing spectacular viewing<br />
platforms and by providing<br />
service facilities, car parks,<br />
picnic areas, walking trails<br />
and artworks.<br />

connection to Eidsdal on County Road No. 63. Service facilities<br />
and a waiting room are available. Architect: Knut Hjeltnes AS.<br />
2 ØRNESVINGEN. This viewing platform is located at the<br />
uppermost hairpin bend of the Ørnevegen road, and offers a<br />
breathtaking view. From here, you can see towards <strong>Geiranger</strong>, over<br />
the <strong>Geiranger</strong>fjord with its precipitous hillsides, the cascading<br />
waterfall The Seven Sisters and the mountain hamlet of Knivsflå.<br />

the scene in a cracking photo. Architect: 3 RW arkitekter – Sixten<br />

4 GUDBRANDSJUVET GORGE. A circular-shaped viewing<br />
platform leads through the terrain up to the Gudbrandsjuvet<br />
Café, located at the very edge of the swirling Valldøla river. The<br />
café and viewing platform make an appealing contrast to the high-<br />
altitude scenery, and provide a vivid and close-up impression of the<br />
gorge and the river. Architect: Jensen & Skodvin Arkitektkontor AS.<br />
5 TROLLSTIGEN. On the <strong>Trollstigen</strong> plateau you can<br />
experience this overwhelming and majestic landscape at close<br />
range. The architectural design is adapted to the landscape, with<br />
materials that can withstand the force of the elements. The view-<br />
ing platforms hover above the <strong>Trollstigen</strong> road, which meanders<br />
along precipitous mountainsides and curves upwards on the<br />
near-vertical slopes. Architect: Reiulf Ramstad Arkitekter AS.<br />
Landscape architect: Multiconsult.<br />
