Trolltunga
Trolltunga is one of Norway’s most spectacular rock formations, a narrow rock plateau that extends horizontally from the mountainside at approximately 1,100 meters above sea level, around 700 meters above Lake Ringedalsvatnet in Skjeggedal. The view towards Ringedalen and Folgefonna makes Trolltunga one of the country’s most photographed and visited hiking destinations.
The hike to Trolltunga is long and demanding, with a round trip of approximately 27 km and around 1,000 meters of elevation gain. The trail traverses high mountain terrain, and the hike normally takes 10–12 hours. Along the way, you pass Mågelitopp, among other points, with views towards Folgefonna National Park, before reaching Trolltunga itself.
The area around Trolltunga, Odda and Ullensvang offers varied mountain and fjord landscapes, with steep mountainsides, high mountain areas and connections to the Hardangerfjord. The terrain is exposed to weather and without safety barriers, which makes good maps essential for planning and safe travel.
