Departing your ship, you'll board your motorcoach at the pier and drive along the Storfjord past charming suburban houses with well-kept gardens and Stordal known for its furniture production on the way to Valldal. Nestled among the alpine mountains and steep, green hills, this lush valley is famous for its natural wonders and as well as its fertile ground perfect for growing cherries, apples, raspberries, and strawberries. The annual Strawberry Festival celebrating the ripe, juicy fruit is one of the major attractions here every July.

After a brief break, you'll continue your scenic drive along the famed Trolls' Path, or Trollstigen. This windy mountain road is narrow with many sharp bends, although it has been widened in recent years. Once you get to the top there is a viewing balcony a short walk away, overlooking the road with its bends and the beautiful Stigfossen waterfall.

Now would be the perfect time for a lunch break. You'll enjoy a delicious traditional Norwegian country buffet, with your choice of local beer or mineral water.

Returning to your motorcoach, you'll then travel to see the 'Troll Wall' or Trollveggen, as the locals say. It's long been a prestigious goal for climbers and base jumpers alike. It's the tallest vertical rock face in Europe, about 3600 ft from the base to the summit at its tallest. At its steepest, the summit overhangs the base by nearly 160 ft.

On the return journey, travel via Andalsnes and the Romsdalsfjord before ascending to the Orskog mountain plateau, a popular destination for alpine and cross-country skiers and the return to the ship via Borgundfjord.
