This has the latest years been one of the most populare tourist places in Norway. It has lot to offer when it comes to outdoor activities and beautiful nature. It is 35 min.drive from the cabine. You will find the Troll Wall. The Trollstigen is only open in the summer months and is a must to drive. It is also the road to Geiranger from the cabine.
In the centre of Åndalsnes you can take the sky lift to the mountain top Nesaksla. Or you can walk to the top and pass Rampestreken. A fantastic view point! If you enjoy longer hikes, you should try Romsdalsegga. Also one of the most populare mountain hikes in Norway. Our personal favourite is SUP in Istra in the late summer.
