There have been multiple instances of rockfalls in the area in 2024. For safety reasons, the Trollstigen road will remain closed for the rest of the year, but you can still visit the famous plateau.
Alternative route to the plateau
Due to a high risk of rockfalls, the local authority, the Møre og Romsdal County Council, has decided to close the popular Trollstigen road, leading to Åndalsnes, for the rest of 2024. The road is open until Trollstigfoten. All driving, biking and hiking in the restricted area is forbidden.
However, the spectacular viewing platform, Trollstigen Plateau, will remain open and you can still reach the top and see the bends of Trollstigen if you drive from the Geiranger/Valldal side. Please remember to only park in designated areas. The café at the top and the Trollstigen Gjestegård in Isterdalen will also remain open.
You can also see Trollstigen from the car park at Trollstigenfoten (the foot of Trollstigen) in Isterdalen.
Travelling between Geiranger and Åndalsnes
You can drive north from Geiranger to the Eidsdal-Linge ferry. From Linge, continue west via Sjøholt, then take the E39 and E136 to Åndalsnes. This trip takes about 2 hours and 40 minutes, including the ferry crossing.
