Trollstigen, Norway - The most dangerous road in Europe

The Trollstigen (Trolls' ladder) Mountain Road is one of Norway's most dramatic and most visited attractions. The historic Trollstigen road, with its 11 hairpin bends, was opened in 1936,
Trollstigen has a steep incline of 9 percent and consists of 11 hairpin bends up a steep mountainside. Encircling the road are lofty mountains. Names such as Kongen (the King), Dronningen (the Queen) and Bispen(the Bishop) confirm their majesty.

Whether or not the road is dangerous, this a great video and the music fits it very well.

Hahaha...l'm an norwegian, this road is not dangerous !!! But it's undoubtly one of the most beutyfull roads in europe with an spectacular scenery !!!

As an American I can confirm this road is not dangerous. One of the most breathtaking scenery of cliffs and waterfalls though!

Spectacular scenery, good roads and wide developed park areas. Driving along the Trolls' Path looks a high quality experience.

This ain't the most dangerous road in Norway, by faaaaar.... This ain't dangerous at all..

[@AndreasHesselberg]

Come on! This is NOT the most dangerous road in Europe. It's quite okay to drive on it. Even busses, caravans and RV's are driving in Trollstigen without problems. Trust me, I know it. I live only 80 km from it.

[@oandrushko]

I think you are right. There are countries in Europe where 80% of the roads are more dangerous than Trollstigen :)

[@NewBuildmini]

the most dangerous road in world is Death Road in Bolivia still used by extreme people, but there is a highway built near it for those that don't want to risk, highway was built in this century somewhere, before, people had to risk and many ended up dying.

The views are beautiful, especially the waterfall. But honestly? This is a really safe road, well secured. I was even a little bit disappointed ;P.

[@michaelsaxton1606]

Not dangerous at all but one of the most beautiful driving experiences you will ever have. We have been to Norway four times so far and are looking forward to coming back as soon as possible. Each time we’ve spent at least three weeks driving to see the countryside and meet the wonderful people. Hard pressed to choose between Norway and Iceland.

[@konradjozef9305]

Since the road opened 80 years there has been no serious traffic accidents. Several hundred thousand cars drive there during 3 summer months.

[@ronaldderooij1774]

I have driven more dangerous roads even in Norway at the west coast. Much smaller, much windier, much less guardrail. You could not see oncoming traffic until you hit it. I have no idea how I survived. I still don't know how people survive driving there. I decided to leave the area, never to return.

[@lucyang5880]

In my opinion, driving in Trollstigen is not dangerous. It's scary if you're afraid of heights. I already conquered this route twice in 2013 and in 2018 all the way to Geiranger Fjords. I enjoyed it ❤️🇳🇴

[@sassytbc7923]

whoever told the person in the car that its ok to pass up cars and bikes waiting for the busses to come down told them wrong. That is considered extremely rude where I live.

[@jasonhasnobrain1421]

[@nannydpurcell2315]

[@thenextpoetician6328]

Roads are dangerous because of reckless drivers. Some of the straightest roads can be the most dangerous.

[@legendenmaggy3104]

Fun and exciting road. Beautiful scenery. Lots of tourists. Dangerous, not at all. But possibly a bit scary for drivers not used to narrow and curvy roads.

Spectacular scenery, but I question whether the road is dangerous to drive on. It looks much easier than the Bealach Na Ba in Scotland.

[@Bethi4WFH]

Perhaps the maker of this video confused ‘dangerous’ with ‘awe-inspiring’? Norway is the loveliest country I have ever visited....it is my favourite and I would dearly love to return, yet again, but sadly my travelling days are over. Incidentally, the road surface looks extremely good....would they like some of the giant potholes from my little town in East Anglia?

[@politicallycorrectredskin796]

Weather is why it can be dangerous. Some parts of the Norwegian west coast get as much rain as Borneo.

[@tom201090]

Maybe next time you try and convince people this road is dangerous take the video both in Winter and in Snow/Icy conditions. I daresay this road can be dangerous, especially in Winter. However there are other roads in Europe which are a lot more dangerous. Also, most accidents are caused by Human Error. And there seems to be a lot of that in Russia.

Norwegians have no choice. if we want roads on the west coast they have to be well-built and highly maintained. We used to mainly get around in boats before because of this terrain.

The movie "Wave" was filmed in Geiranger, it is a bit further North, about 70km drive from this place, and has similar zig-zag mountain roads :)

[@sandstoney]

Beautiful movie ,saved me the effort of going there,thanks for sharing

[@theragingcyclone]

What is so dangerous in this road? Looks very well built and wide road to me in comparison to hilly roads in my country. People here will feel lucky if we had such roads in our hilly regions.

[@politicallycorrectredskin796]

It rains and snows a lot in this part of Norway. Slippery roads are the biggest problem you'll face. The road is only relatively wide as long as the steering wheel works.

[@theragingcyclone]

@@politicallycorrectredskin796 Not sure what you are complaining about. There are two reasons for the slippery road, one because of ice on the road and another one because of poor construction and maintenance. If the road is well built and maintained then ice problems can be mitigated by using type chains and driving slow. But otherwise, its good to drive. On the other hand when road is bumpy and poorly maintained then you not only has ice problem but also bumpy ride and potholes as well.

[@balsimellilaura]

..beautiful movie...Always intresting Norwegian landscape, altought it's a hard way to drive along.the music you choose well describe the "tension & attention"needed on that kind of road. i hope other work like this from you. bye

[@cousinluigi]

Certainly way less dangerous than a lot of roads we have in Ireland. As one of Ireland’s Norwegian immigrants, I can certainly tell you Trollstigen is child’s play compared to some of the Kerry and West Cork peninsula drives. They’re closer to Bolivian mountain crossings if you ask me.

[@Javiajero70]

Seriously why the most dangerous?. You must be joking, bro. The only thing with which to be careful is in the turns, in case you find any large volume vehicle or a motorhome. For the rest, it may happen that a large stone falls on your vehicle, but come on, you will not go down the hill unless you get lost. a big hug for you (and don't be such a scary person).

[@darlayjones669]

Please! Give me a break. I can drive on this beautiful road blindfolded. I think listening to that corny song is much more dangerous than the road itself.

Or continuing when the second bus was clearly in sight and they would obviously meet on the very tight hairpin. Roads are'nt inherently dangerous, it's the morons who think they can drive.

This reminds me of California State Route 23 between Pacific Coast Highway and Thousand Oaks, albeit somewhat longer and steeper.

[@wischi4985]

I'm sure europe offers more dangerous roads than this. That one does not have any potholes, very smooth, just the hairpins and thin spots with bad visibility.

[@titanictechno]

Why this road has not painted the central white line. That seriously jeopardizes safety for all vehicles.

[@aureliomalva]

I drove down Trollstigen road in 2004 (I think driving down is even more spectacular because we have a more complete view of its beautiful route) and I must say it is one of the most beautiful roads I have ever driven. And no, it's not dangerous, but some people are.

Not only that, it has 33% grades that puts this road to shame! Certainly the most white knuckle driving I've ever done was on those one lane roads in the Lake District over 40 years ago! Hard to believe, but Wikipedia says the road over the pass was first built by the Romans in 110AD!

Again: it rains there constantly, so the roadway is usually slippery. Foreigners have no idea what the weather is like in Norway. Rain, snow, sleet, wind and zero predictability. That's why it's this well built too. Any cracks and the rain and snow will just wash the entire road away in a couple of years.
