Geiranger and Trollstigen
Ten unhurried days on the Norwegian Scenic Route Geiranger-Trollstigen. Cloud snags on the eleven hairpins above Isterdalen, then the fjord opens like a dark hall and the Seven Sisters fall in white threads. Short driving days, ferries, and Tesla or Recharge stops in Alesund, Andalsnes, and Stryn keep the battery honest in the climbs.
Season: Trollstigen and the inner Geiranger road are typically gated from first snow until spring clearing (often late April to October; 2026 opened 27 April). Check Vegvesen trafikk. The Hellesylt-Geiranger ferry runs in season.
