Stunning - Troll Wall, Hike in Åndalsnes & Trollstigen Utsiktspunkt, Norway - Day #3

Last night we parked facing a beautiful mountain with loads of waterfalls. It was probably 1.30am when we went to bed and it was light as day. It was magical to wake up to the view. We had a quick sandwich for breakfast and headed to see the Troll Wall.


Apparently, the best view was from the car park. So after taking a few pics, we headed to a "supposed to be a small hike" that I went up halfway and gave up on… In my defence, my period hit me this morning so, it's a bloody achievement to have gone even halfway 🤣 It was snowy, that's the first time in my life I see and experience snow in June. My feet were soaked within 10mins, my legs fell into deep snow to the knee on a few occasions. But I made sure to find a suitable place and roll down the snow on our way back to the car.


After this one, we headed to another hike in Åndalsnes to get to the top of a massive mountain with a platform at the top. It was a hell of a hike. It completely broke us 🤣


And after reaching the platform we decided to get the lift down, which meant another long hike up with cut-off cliff on the side. It was scary to look down, so this time Julien turned into a goat and spead up to the top. 😂


When we hit the road again we unexpectedly found ourselves at the Trollstigen Utsiktspunkt roads between the mountains which was mind-blowing. We were absolutely smitten. And when we got to the top and got out of the van, it was super cold. We touched the water 💦 and it felt like ice. I've never seen so much snow piled up either. The road was scary to drive and look at the views at the same time. It was breathtaking. Mother Nature is just Majestic.


I think this is the most beautiful journey I've ever been on. In the evening we showered in the van, refilled the water and the petrol tanks and found another glorious place to park for the night.
