A narrow road with 11 hairpins on a steep grade and sometimes treacherous weather conditions - my kinda bike climb. 👍👍 This exceptional bike climb is on the very popular, but somewhat cycle-risky, roadway that is very popular with tourists for its surrounding scenery and viewpoints at the top. During tourist season, roughly 2,500 vehicles climb this road. Due to its narrow width and 11 sharp and steep hairpins, the roadway is off limits to vehicles exceeding 13 meters (43’).
Average grade is 7.7%. The climb is remarkably consistent with 90% being in the 5-10% gradient range. The steepest 500 meters is 9%.

Roadway: Narrow two lane road in excellent condition.
Traffic: More than you'd expect for a fairly remote climb - traffic is moderate - this is a very popular roadway.
Parking: Parking ___ meters before the start of the climb in a gravel parking area - Map; Street View.
Provisions: There is a vibrant mall-like area at kilometer 7.9 which has the Trollstigen Kafe (4.2 stars on Google) and gift shop.
