Description
It's no wonder Trolltunga is on your bucket list. Trolltunga is the definition of a true Rockstar. Experience some of the wildest nature scenery that Norway has to offer.
Embark on a guided hike to Trolltunga, one of the most scenic viewpoints in Norway. Enjoy a fun and stress-free day with your guide and travel companions. Take in the views of the majestic blue lake Ringedalsvatnet and the Folgefonna Glacier.
Meet your guide at P2 in Skjeggedal and take the shuttle bus to start the hike at P3 to save some time and energy. Be prepared, as it can still take 9-12 hours to hike the rest of the summer trail to Trolltunga.
Along the way, several viewpoints will reveal how steep and beautiful the valley is. Have several small stops for snacks and drinks on the way. At the same time, your guides enhance your hiking experience with lots of good motivation, their local knowledge about the nature, local history, and the best lunch and picture spots.
Stand on top of the famous rock formation peeking out 700 meters above the valley. See the majestic blue lake Ringedalsvatnet and the Folgefonna Glacier in the far distance. When you look to your right, notice that your guide is abseiling down to get the best shots of you.
After the photoshoot, enjoy a bit more time around Trolltunga before heading back.
