Hei Trolltunga! Jeg sier dette bare fordi jeg lærer norsk, og er alltid takknemlig når noen hjelper meg å fikse mine feil. Når man oversetter «det er» til engelsk, sier man ikke «it is», men «there is.» Slik: There is snow along the trail to Trolltunga. Jeg gleder meg til å besøke Trolltunga igjen etter snøen smelter!

TROLLTUNGA

Norway’s most spectacular rock formation

Trolltunga is one of the most scenic and spectacular cliffs in Norway, hovering 700 metres above Ringedalsvatnet lake. Situated at the western edge of the Hardangervidda plateau, near the town of Odda, Trolltunga was carved by the icecap that once covered most of Scandinavia.

The hike through high-mountain terrain up to Trolltunga (1180 m) is long and demanding, but you are rewarded with magnificent views.

From the main trailhead at P2 in Skjeggedal, the round-trip hike is 28 km with an ascent of almost 800 metres. The estimated hiking time is 8–12 hours.

There is an additional trailhead at P3 Mågelitopp. The round-trip hike from P3 Mågelitopp is 20 km with an ascent of about 320 metres. The estimated hiking time is 7–10 hours.

Hikers need to be properly equipped and in good shape.
