This rewarding 20-km trail will take you through the Nordic wilderness, leading up to the majestic Trolltunga cliff. Located in the Hardangerfjord region in Norway, Trolltunga hides spectacular landscapes and unique sunrises. The hike’s famous feature is a rock jutting out 700 meters (2,300 feet) above Ringedalsvatnet Lake. Prepare to be staggered by towering, snow-dusted mountains in the distance and seemingly never-ending green valleys dotted with boulders. While the end destination is phenomenal, the journey itself is just as extraordinary and rewarding. Find out more about why the Trolltunga hike is an otherworldly experience from Stian Rudd, Haugesund local.
It was a fantastic and unforgettable trip to Trolltunga with the Trolltunga Adventures team.
This trip was not as difficult as I expected, because we were led by the experienced guides Stian and Sondre. Stian is knowledgeable and capable, both of them are kind and thoughtful, very pleasant guides. We could just follow them and feel safe.
We had Norwegian traditional meals and overnight in the quality tent with amazing views, it was a super luxury. Experienced all kinds of weather. I just can’t explain enough how wonderful the trip was. You have to experience yourself.
Quality trip with good price.
It is highly recommended for solo travelers or groups. I think I will join this trip again with my family sometime in the near future.

Hiking to Trolltunga involves at least 10 hours of hiking, meaning you’ll need a very good fitness level to join both 1-day and 2-day options. The 2-day hike is a bit easier than the 1-day options, but any ounce of hiking experience will be of great value on Trolltunga’s slippery rocks.
To join the 1-day winter hike, you should also have some experience hiking in the snow and cold weather, as the adventure involves hiking in an exposed and cold mountain area.
The hike to Trolltunga lasts between 10 to 12 hours roundtrip. If the roads are open, you’ll be transferred from Skjeggedal (P2) to Mågelitopp (P3), in which case your hike to Trolltunga and back will be 20 km (12.4 miles). In case the road between P2 and P3 is closed due to snow conditions, you’ll start at P2 and hike 28 km (17.4 miles). This is the route you can expect to take on the 1-day winter hike.
