Other The drive along Trollstigen is undoubtedly more dramatic than most people are used to, but what is special about driving in Norway is that in fact people live just about everywhere. Even on the narrowest mountain ledge or small crag there will be a house. We are bound to the landscape and the natural surroundings through settlements that have offered us a livelihood throughout history. Geiranger-Trollstigen offers numerous highlights, and the eleven hairpin bends of Trollstigen as well as the view from Ørnesvingen down to the Geirangerfjord may set your pulse racing. Lush valleys, sheltered strawberry-growing
areas, precipitous mountains and vantage points guaranteed to make you dizzy offer some of Norway’s most scenic views.
To accomodate tourism along this scenic route several attractions and viewing points have been constructed. Mapei AS have been involved in two of these: Trollstigen Café & Tourist Centre and Gudbrandsjuvet gorge café. Both which have seen our Mapefloor Finish 52W in use.
All of these structures are built to blend perfectly with the fantastic scenery and landscape. This way they are less intrusive and even more spectacular.
