My two top routes, without travelling all the way up Norway:

1) Drive up to Dalsnibba, a dead end road with a fantastic view at the end turning/parking area. Off route 63, about 15k SE of Geiranger, the village at the end of the Geiranger Fjord.
2) Drive the troll road – it’s on county road 63, between Romsdal Fjord and Valldal, about 10 miles south of Veblungsnes.

Youtube searches for Dalsnibba and the Troll route will give you some idea! Althought tight in places, coaches use both routes.

Enjoy!

We were in Norway 2012 and thoroughly enjoyed it, both campsites and wilding. There were five cruises in Geiranger Fjord and our overwhelming memory was the smell of diesel. We didn't stay long!! Trollstiggen bends were not a problem until we came upon a large coach broken down on the widened crown of the bend with passengers milling about all over the road. This left a very tight corner on the inside of the bend which was a bit hair raising, but we made it. We bought a book before we went which was really useful - Motoring in Norway: Erling Welle-Strand. It's available on Amazon and has lots of route suggestions.
 
Just bought the above mentioned book....£4.
Very good detail on actual routes. Will use it as a guide.
 
If you're going that far North, I recommend a trip along the Lofoten Islands. We did this for a fortnight a couple of years ago, staying in sjøhus, rorbuer etc. rather than a van. Once you're out of Harstad, it's spectacular scenery all the way. That said, dress up warm as we were there in July and the temperature was in single figures!
 
Just come back from over 6 week trip, mostly wildcamping.
All good, and spectacular views.

Just don't mention the troll-road and troll-cliff. Both on our must-see list. And we were 10 miles away wildcamping on the Fjord but after a very very very windy night and bad nights sleep, we forgot...… So we missed it and didn't realised till we were 100s of miles away.

Doh.

Well worth doing the trip, not the most exciting in terms of things to do, but the scenery and nature was spectacular and pretty much continuous.
 
great

We were there years ago,never were in a site.Plenty petrol stations where you can top up with water and empty your toilet.
Park anywhere,roads ok most of the time,stock up.
Went to North Cape, a must,expensive to cross to there but it was aone off.
Came back,Lapland,Finland then Sweden and back to Norway.
When we did it we got home via a ferry from Bergen to Scrabster,Scotland.
That ferry is now no more.
