Overview

Join a guided adventure to one of Norway’s most iconic natural wonders — Trolltunga (The Troll’s Tongue). Stretching dramatically out from the mountain 700 metres above Lake Ringedalsvatnet, this world-famous rock formation offers one of the most spectacular viewpoints in Scandinavia.

This two-day experience is designed to make the demanding hike safer and more enjoyable, with a full guided hike on Day 1 followed by an overnight stay in Odda and a relaxed return journey on Day 2. With transport, an expert guide, and a small group setting, this is the best way to experience Trolltunga at the right pace.

Highlights

Trolltunga (The Troll’s Tongue)
One of the most photographed natural landmarks in Norway, Trolltunga is a unique rock formation extending horizontally from the mountain. Formed during the last Ice Age over 10,000 years ago, it offers a dramatic viewpoint suspended high above the fjord landscape. Standing on Trolltunga is a once-in-a-lifetime experience

High Mountain Landscape
The hike takes you through diverse terrain — from forest trails to open mountain plateaus, with snow patches, rocky paths, and vast panoramic views throughout. The landscape becomes more dramatic as you gain elevation.

Lake Ringedalsvatnet Views
Far below Trolltunga lies the deep blue Ringedalsvatnet lake, surrounded by steep mountain walls. The contrast between the rugged rock formations and the calm water creates a striking visual experience.

Long Distance Endurance Hike
Unlike shorter hikes such as Preikestolen, Trolltunga is a true full-day mountain trek. The distance and terrain make it one of the most rewarding hiking challenges in Norway.

Overnight Stay in Odda
After completing the hike, relax in the fjord town of Odda, surrounded by waterfalls and mountains. This allows proper recovery and a more comfortable overall experience.

Scenic Waterfall Stop
On the return journey, enjoy a stop at one of the region’s beautiful waterfalls — a perfect final highlight before heading back.
