Trolltunga, \u201cthe Troll’s Tongue\u201d, is a slab of rock that juts out horizontally about 700 metres above Lake Ringedalsvatnet in Ullensvang Municipality, in the Hardanger region of western Norway, on the western edge of the Hardangervidda plateau. The usual base is the town of Odda, about 17 kilometres away, or the nearby village of Tyssedal; Bergen is roughly 190 kilometres away by road. There are three trailheads above Tyssedal: P1 Tyssedal, P2 Skjeggedal, the main one, and P3 M\u00e5gelitopp, a small private car park that must be booked in advance. In summer shuttle buses run from Odda to P2 Skjeggedal, and from P2 on to P3.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Was Trolltunga so ber\u00fchmt macht<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The cliff is part of the ancient Precambrian bedrock and took its shape at the end of the last Ice Age, about 10,000 years ago, when frost and the edge of the glacier broke away large blocks and left this thin shelf of rock hanging over the valley. Until 2010 fewer than 800 people a year hiked here, but by 2016 the number had grown to an estimated 80,000, and Trolltunga became one of Norway’s most famous hikes. The reward is the chance to step out onto the ledge for a photograph high above the lake, with the Folgefonna glacier in the distance; on summer days, expect to queue for the classic shot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Praktische Informationen und Tipps<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The hike itself is free, but parking is not: a day at P2 Skjeggedal costs 550 NOK including the road toll, P1 Tyssedal costs 330 NOK, and P3 M\u00e5gelitopp 600 NOK plus the 220 NOK road toll. From P2 the round trip is 27 kilometres with about 800 metres of ascent and takes 8 to 12 hours; from P3 it is 20 kilometres and 7 to 10 hours, and from P1 38 kilometres and around 15 hours. Experienced hikers can go on their own from June to September; from October to May the trail is often under snow and a guided hike with a local company such as Trolltunga Active or Trolltunga Adventures is recommended. Start early, wear proper boots, carry enough food, water and warm, windproof layers, and always check the mountain forecast; there are emergency shelters along the route, and the emergency number is 112.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
