-Are the roads in Norway closed?

Not all, I hope!

But some are closed in the winter and in the spring.
And some are closed at night, and some may be closed because of accidents or road work.
Or because off too many GS'er on the road!

So; -how to find out if Trollstigen are closed in May?

Yes, I know it is in Norwegian, but I guess it is helpful for you. If you know some words (get a small dictionary and make a list before you leave UK) and if you know the number of the road - I think you'll figure it out!

But I can help you a little here:
Vinterstengt = This road closes in the winter.
Åpnes = it opens normally in the number of the month in the list. (Åpne = open up).
Stenges / Lukkes = closes.
Stengt = closed.
Nattestengt = closed in the night. (Often because of snow!)
Vegarbeid = road work.
Kø = queue.

And the strange letters we are using:
Æ æ = AE or ae, as in Nærsnes = Naersnes.
Ø ø = OE or oe, as in Jølster = Joelster.
Å å = AA or aa, as in Ålesund = AAlesund (or Aalesund).

Ask me if you need help!

Hi Liv, I couldn't get that link to open for me... perhaps they are temporarily down.
Can you check address is correct...

Thanks

If you need to know if a road are closed in Norway, and you have a phone:

+47 815 48 991 if you call from abroad (not from Norway).
'
175 if you call from Norway.
'
The machine ask you to hold for information in English;
that means you have to listen to a lot of information in Norwegian, and finally you get to a person.
If you understand what the voice are saying in Norwegian, you can choose from the menu and get the information from the machine. (First he ask you if you want tp report some trouble, like snow. The he ask you what type information you need, like closed roads, and for what area you need information.)

If there is a TV at the hotell you are staying at in Norway;
Find the channel called NRK1 and find TextTV, page 350.

I hope this is useful for you!
