About this experience
The hike to Trolltunga is long, 28 km. It’s recommended to use a guide outside the summer season which is defined between the 15th of June and the 15th of September. This is due to uncertainty related to weather, snow, rivers, and less daylight, which again have led to several rescue operations over the years. The weather changes fast at this time of the season
Spring at Trolltunga is a unique experience with few/no tourists in the mountains, crystal clear air, and several meters of snow We will provide snowshoes and poles if that's required.
Meeting point in Skjeggedal (P2) at 0800. Here you will meet our guide. If conditions allow us, we will be able to drive up to Mågelitoppen (P3), which will save us 4km and 400 vertical meters(!).
We will serve a delicious lunch, hot drinks and local snacks. We will have breaks along the way, and our guides will show you some spectacular hidden gems.
The duration of the hike is about 10-12 hours.
