- Liabygda Ringsetskiftet - 10. ViewPoint by the sea On our way to ViewPoint by the sea, we pass the old Rose Church in Stordal. Built in year 1789. Another fantastic ViewPoint close to Liabygda. Down to the left, you can see a salmon fish farm, to the right, we see the town Stranda where the Grandiosa pizza factory is located. Across the fjord, we see the fjord going to Geiranger and Hellesylt. Up on the mountain to the left, you can see the mountain farm Skrednakken. This is the farm our Norwegian Queen Sonja visited some years ago. Don’t forget to take some nice photos.
- Gudbrandsjuvet - 20. Gudbrandsjuvet is a river gorge in the river Valldøla. The watery river flows between gorges and cracks in the mountain and meets from rather unexpected angles, before it flows under the bridge and plunges further down the valley. The gully is partly formed by several large potholes. The water feature is a tourist attraction, and platforms and bridges have been built in a mixture of glass and rust-corroded iron in both walls and floors. Here is a cafeteria and also free toilets available. You must try their Salmon baguette. So good !
- Krikebrua - 25. The old bridge by Krikebrua Mother Nature ! I think this is one of the most fantastic stop on our trip. We stop on a small place with a free toilet and some benches for rest. Then we hike together about 3 to 4 minutes on the other side of the road. There we will see an old bridge (built in 1891) and a gorgeous waterfall and river above. The bridge is built of rocks only in 1891. No concrete or steel inside the construction. Please use the bins in the bus for your garbage.
- Trollstigen - 30. Trollstigen ViewPoints is the main stop on our trip. There are 2 ViewPoints available, one is about 5 Minutes of walking, and the best one is about 10 Minutes of walking from the bus. The path to these viewpoints is laid in concrete and has solid safety fences around it. A souvenir shop and free toilets are also available in Trollstigen. There is also a cafeteria selling sandwiches, coffee and soft-ice cream. Hot meals are available here.
- Valldal - 80. After our stop at Trollstigen, we have to go back again against Valldal. We plan for a stop there with restrooms available.
-
Fjellstua Viewpoint - 90. Aksla Viewpoint is our last stop this day.
We stop for photos from the most famous viewpoint around Ålesund.

Best tour in Norway - Honestly a highlight of our trip on the cruise. The driver was amazing, even though the trollstigen was closed we did another route around the fjord and ski resorts. Can’t recommend enough to do!!
Thank you heaps for the amazing day. Worth every penny

Cruise ship savings excursion - There was early snow so we did the alternate tour that was offered as the road to Trollstigen was closed. What we saw driving that day was so beautiful I do not feel we missed out on anything. Our driver was very nice and told us all kinds of interesting information about the country. The panic lunch was a sandwich, cookie and beverage. We had a great day and the timing was all mapped out perfectly and we were back in time to get on our cruise ship.
Very professional company.

Alesund and surrounding area tour - Our tour had to be changed due to the closure of the troll road, but the tour we received in place of that was great. The guides were knowledgeable and great to talk to. I think we likely got to see more than we would have otherwise.

Scenic route through troll country - A lovely and scenic route through the part of Norway also known as the land of the Trolls. The guide tells a lot of stories about the area and specific landmarks. The trip is mostly by car, but there are frequent stops to enjoy the countryside.

Troll Road - Our driver was wonderful. He provided us so information regarding Norway and the places we were visiting. We had plenty of time at each stop. I would highly recommend this tour. We loved the stop where you could see the troll road even though it was closed due the rest of the year. Being able to see from the platform was phenomenal.

Unpleasant - Tour remained incomplete the operator
did not wait for a few minutes to see if weather clears up and returns back
The heating metal tube on the side of the
window seat got heated so much I got a
3rd degree burn on the outer side of my
right leg. Reported to the driver he remained insensitive and paid no attention to my injury
I was in pain
This was a black Mercedes Van
I want to talk about this to the senior officer
