Trollstigen to reopen on 14 July 2025
The county road administration confirms that the opening of Trollstigen will take place on 14 July 2025.
Opening date is confirmed
The rockfall mitigation work carried out on the iconic hairpin bends of Trollstigen over the past year, is now coming to an end. The county road administration confirms that the opening of Trollstigen will take place on 14 July 2025. The work is currently slightly ahead of schedule, and the Møre og Romsdal County Road Administration will issue a press release on Wednesday 9 July with the exact opening time the 14th of July.
-After the safety work that has been carried out, Trollstigen is considered safe enough for traffic. We have clear routines for closing the road if there is heavy rainfall due to the risk of falling rocks, but apart from that, no further work or closures are planned. A larger project to secure the entire Trollstigen is planned for the future, but this depends on toll funding and is still a few years away. The road is considered safe, but travelers must always respect the forces of nature and, like any road in exposed natural surroundings, there will always be a potential for unforeseen incidents, says Torgeir Bye, Section manager for road operations at Møre og Romsdal county administration.
- We are delighted that the hairpin bends at Trollstigen will soon reopen, says Trine Kanter Zerwekh, Senior Advisor at Norwegian Scenic Routes. She also emphasises that the café and viewpoints on the Trollstigen plateau are open, and that it is possible to hike the Kløvstien trail between the foot of Trollstigen and the plateau at the top.
Destination Ålesund & Sunnmøre, Visit Northwest and the local tourism industry appreciate that the work has progressed so smoothly and look forward to welcoming guests again to experience the entire stretch of the Norwegian Scenic Route Geiranger-Trollstigen.
