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.

What you get on this adventure:
What’s not included:
The actual hike to Trolltunga lasts between 10 to 12 hours roundtrip. If the roads are open, you’ll get transferred from P2 in Skjeggedal to Måglietopp (P3), in which case, the hike to Trolltunga and back is 20 km (12.4 miles). In case the road between P2 and P3 is closed due to snow, you’ll need to start your hike at P3, making it a 28-kilometer hike (17.4 miles).
Regardless of which option you choose—the 1-day or the 2-day tour—keep in mind that hiking to Trolltunga still means at least 10 hours of hiking. The 1-day tour requires a very good physical condition, while the overnight hike is a bit easier. Any ounce of hiking experience will be of great value on Trolltunga’s slippery rocks.
If you’re going on a 2-day hike, your guiding service will provide a tent, a sleeping bag and sleeping mat, food, and hot drinks. Here’s a list of the equipment you’ll need to bring:
