What are the chances the Trollstigen road will be open the last week of May this year? If open, would there be any public buses going over it?

I'd consider driving myself if I could at least be sure the road will be open. Thanks.

Hi All, I plan to have some vacation in Geiranger for 1 or 2 days. Actually what I want to see is: - The great Trollstigen (north route from Geiranger to Andalsnes) - Beautiful Dalsnibba (south route to Grotli) - The gigantic rock Flydalsjuvet (south route) For the Trollstigen, I would like to use bus (The Golden Route). Is The Golden Route cover route from Geiranger to Andalsnes (not Andalsnes to Geiranger)? The problem is that I will go in 28 - 29 May 2008 and the Golden Route itself operate in June 2008. Does anyone can give me some alternative? For the Dalsnibba, is there any public transportation that I can use except Golden Route? For Flydalsjuvet, what public transportation that cover this route? Also, if I rent car, it have minimum 3 days car rental and it's so expensive. So I would like to have some pt or motorcycle.. Need help if anyone knows for motorcycle rental with minimum budget and not minimum 3 days.. Many thanks before BR, Christoper

When I want to drive to Geiranger, and coming from Lom and Ottodalen, can I easily take the road at the right side at Breiddalen, to Geiranger? I hope it is not too difficult with the serpentines. Is this a toll free road, or is it the same as the Dalsnibba toll road? I councilled a routeplanner, but this routeplanner gave for advice to make a roundaway via Stryn, Grodas, and Hellesylt, and taking over there the ferry to Geiranger. But this would take a lot of more time and kilometers. Anyone who knows the region, and who can give me good advice?

Hello, I'm planning to travel around Geiranger region for some days. The villages I want to visit are Dalsnibba, Hellesylt, Birksdal Glacier, Balestrand and finally Bergen. I got some information for some famous cities like Hellesylt. But, It's still difficult to find out some more. 1.Is there any transportation from Geiranger to Dalsnibba? Is it worthy to visit Dalsnibba Summit to see the fjord? 2.From Hellesylt, how can I get Birksdal Glacier? What I means is there was no matched bus station name, Birksdal or Jostedal Nat'l Park, in Norway bus website. What is the nearest bus station from Birksdal? 3.Where is famous place in Birksdal Glacier(Jostedal Nat'l Park)? Because lack of railway in Norway, it is quite hard to get the itinery. Thanks for your attention.
