What are the most spectacular roads in Norway?

Located in the northern part of Europe, Norway is a paradise for drivers, with mountain roads and stunning coastal drives, offering views of fjords, bays, and islands. It hosts about 100 of the most spectacular roads in the world.

It’s difficult to choose just a few roads, but you can’t miss the Atlantic Road, a scenic coastal drive on the edge of the sea. The curvy road dips and arches over the brutal waves of the Norwegian Sea that often crash over the pavement during storms. It’s also worth the drive through Lysevegen: Norway's most famous hairpinned road. Located in the southwestern part of the country, the road features 27 hairpin turns and a curvy narrow tunnel, impassable for 2 cars at the same time. It's one of the most hairpinned roads in the world.

Another road must be on your list is the curvy Trollstigen. It’s one of Norway's most dramatic and most visited attractions, featuring dangerous conditions such as inclines, narrow driving space, and poor traction and visibility in rain and fog. It's one of the famous scenic drives in Norway, known for its 11 hair-raising hairpin turns and a steep 10% gradient.

Tucked away in the Scandinavian Peninsula, it’s vital to check the weather forecast before embarking on any trip in the country, due to its extreme winter conditions, with some regions above the Arctic Circle.
