Ålesund → Trondheim: the Golden Route

A short expedition that bags three icons. From Ålesund take the Geirangerfjord and the Eagle Road, cross to the Trollstigen, then swing to the coast for the bridge-hopping Atlantic Ocean Road before the easy run to Trondheim via Kristiansund. Two or three days and almost every hour is a highlight.
