Path, not ladder

[edit]

It is not a ladder. The word "stig" means "path" in nynorsk. Stine670 (talk) 22:16, 15 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Indeed, it's a common misconception that "stigen" refers to "ladder" ("stige" in Norwegian), in stead it refers to "path/footpath" ("stig" or "sti" in Norwegian). The older road was called "Kløvstigen" ("Horse pack road") as it was so narrow that goods were transported on horse back only. - Regards 80.212.76.42 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.212.76.42 (talk) 21:06, 8 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

"Stigen" does not translate to path. It's an ascent and the name Trollstigen means "where the trolls climb up/ascend".

It's more poetic and descriptive to name it an ascent. To call it a path is just misleading.

(I have some issues posting here, I'm sorry to lash onto your comment like that. Please edit as you see fit.)

"See also"

[edit]

I removed this links as the relation is merely touristic (Wikipedia is not a tourist guide like Wikivoyage):
