Main SitesGeiranger to Trollstigen, Norway: Eagle Road Views & Trollstigen Hairpins — Self-Guided Driving Tour (Summer Only)
Welcome to the Geiranger to Trollstigen drive, a summer-season road trip of about eighty-five kilometres, or 53 miles, plus a short ferry crossing, from Geiranger Fjord to Åndalsnes. We'll follow road 63, a Norwegian Scenic Route: up the Eagle Road, across the Norddalsfjord on the Eidsdal to Linge ferry, through the Valldal valley and over Trollstigen, then down to Åndalsnes. The ferry crossing takes about thirteen minutes, with departures generally every half hour during the day, although some gaps are longer. No advance booking is needed or available—simply join the vehicle queue and follow the crew’s instructions. Summer queues can mean waiting for a later sailing, so allow some flexibility and check the current FRAM timetable before travelling. Trollstigen is a seasonal mountain road. Opening and closing dates depend on snow, weather and safety work, including rockfall measures. Check the road status with the Norwegian Public Roads Administration before setting off. Allow about three hours of travel, plus any ferry waiting time, or a full day with stops. Set up the tour while parked, drive on the right, let a passenger handle the phone, and stop only in marked parking areas. Take your time—this is a journey to enjoy, one spectacular view at a time.
