Trolltunga, Norway
Tucked away between fjords, villages and towns, you
will find some of the most beautiful and breathtaking rock formations
in Norway. They have been here for thousands of years, shaped and
battered by the Ice Ages and the elements.
Walking in the mountains
gives you a feeling of freedom, a feeling of overcoming and conquering.
Each mountain and each summit has its own personality, charm and
identity. Trolltunga rock in Norway has all this in abundance; there is
no other rock formation quite like Trolltunga, it is without equal.
For each step you take, it is as if you are getting closer and closer
to a kingdom of the trolls, carved in stone and ready to welcome you.
Mythical, majestic and with a magical atmosphere – far up in the
mountains.
You do not need to travel for days to enter Western Norway’s mountain
country. If you are looking for bigger challenges than you will find in
the mountains around Bergen,
we recommend a trip to the Hardanger region, and more specifically to
the Skjeggedal valley, not far from the industrial town of Odda.
It is here that you start the hike up to Trolltunga rock, one of the
most spectacular rock formations in Norway. It is situated at 1,100
metres above sea level and around 700 metres above Ringedalsvannet lake
in Skjeggedal.
People come here from all over the world to go on the impressive walk
to Trolltunga, a walk that has become world famous in recent years as a
result of international media coverage. Roughly 40,000 people a year
choose to hike up Trolltunga during the short summer season.
