Hiking to Trolltunga Cliff in Norway

57hours is committed to providing safe outdoor adventure experiences. We require all guides using our platform to have a COVID-19 safety plan and to make the details of that plan accessible to travelers. In most cases, group sizes will be reduced, guides will avoid overcrowded locations, and other safety measures will be met depending on the location and activity.

We also expect clients to respect local regulations and take measures to protect themselves, guides and the communities they’re travelling to. For more information on COVID-19 measures in Ullensvang, NO, please refer to the Visit Norway website.

Please contact us if you have any questions or require further information. We are happy to provide you with the most up-to-date information!

There are incredible options for the less experienced in Norway, but due to the difficulty, you’ll need to be a seasoned long-distance hiker or at an excellent level of physical fitness. If you can walk for four to six hours with a little more change in elevation, you are good to go. Hikes require a high level of fitness, hiking anywhere between eight to ten miles per day. The entire round trip trail is 28-kilometer (17 miles) and will take you 800 meters up in the mountains. Any ounce of outdoor hiking experience will be of great value on Trolltunga’s slippery rocks. Keep in mind, the weather in summer can be very hot and you’ll also be packing a daypack filled with water and other things you’ll need throughout the day.

Here’s a list of the equipment you need to bring:

• Day pack large enough to carry all the items listed (around a 30L bag) — can be rented from the guide
• Hiking poles — can be rented from the guide
• Water bottle or hydration bladder (2L capacity)
• Snacks
• Lightweight hiking boots or shoes
• Hiking socks
• Light trekking trousers (not jeans)
• Spare clothes for layering
• A warm sweater, polar or fleece
• Puffy jacket or equivalent mid-layer
• Warm clothing for layering
• Waterproof rain jacket
• Swimsuit
• Sunhat
• Beanie
• Gloves
• Headlamp
• Toiletries (sunscreen, hand sanitizer, bug spray, toilet paper, etc.)
• Sunglasses
• Camera — optional (but recommended)

Hiring a local guide offers you the chance to experience Norway’s beauty to the fullest. Local guides know all the hidden gems the area has to offer, will explain the history and geology during the hike, and will customize your day to the desires of your group. Because there is so much to see and do in Trolltunga, this is one location where it really pays to have a guide by your side to make the most out of this once-in-a-lifetime experience.

With us, it’s all play and no work for you! 57hours is an open platform that connects you with trained and certified outdoor adventure professionals all over the world. Using our tech-savvy, we make it super easy to find and book adventures worth tackling, with guides worth booking, all gathered from the first-hand experiences of the locals who adventure in these amazing locations.

The tours listed above are not private and all pricing is per person.

The minimum group size on these Trolltunga hiking tours is three guests and one guide, but larger groups can be accommodated.

Private trek tours can be offered for an additional 10% extra cost. If you would like to go on a private hike, contact us prior to booking to make arrangements.

• Everybody over the age of 18 is welcome to book this hiking adventure.
• Minors as young as 12 may be permitted to join private tours on a case-by-case basis. If you plan to hike with anyone under the age of 18, please contact us prior to booking to make arrangements.

Tours are scheduled to fit with the seasons and ideal hiking conditions. When the weather does not cooperate, your guide will know the correct course of action to take. Whether that’s shifting to a more favorable location or postponing until conditions approve, your guide will know just what to do. In the event of predictably bad weather, you will be contacted prior to the trip to discuss suitable alternatives.

We highly recommended that you cover all your bases with both emergency medical and travel insurance. With medical insurance, if you have an accident or medical emergency on or off the mountain, you’ll avoid paying out of pocket for costly expenses. This covers everything from hospital treatments to emergency air transportation and more.

As we’ve recently seen, travel plans can be abruptly halted, so it’s a good idea to purchase travel insurance that covers cancelled flights, natural disasters and other scenarios that may interrupt your travel plans. For peace of mind, we suggest you consider both options of insurance.

If you need assistance selecting the right insurance for your group, let us know and we will be happy to help!

To get to Norway, most people fly into Bergen Airport (BGO) that is 3.5 hours away or Oslo International Airport (OSL) that is 6 hours away. From both airports, you can rent a car or take a shuttle service to the meeting point.

The meeting location before the trek is a trailhead in Skjeggedal (P2) around 11:15 in the morning. It is possible to park there when it’s not full, but it’s expensive (600 NOK per day). It is recommended to park at your hotel and take a taxi to the meeting point. From there, you’ll head to your tour. The guide will choose the appropriate terrain dependent on conditions and the hiking ability of the group.
