Trolltunga Day Hike
Embark on a thrilling one-day adventure to Trolltunga with our expert guides!
- The hike to Trolltunga is long, 20 km return from Mågelitopp (P3), where we most of the time start our hike. Therefore this hike requires good physical condition and the ability to hike for many hours. Our guides will do their very best to take care of you but it is also important that you have the equipment (clothes) and physical strength necessary. See our packing list below before your hike.

Coming to Trolltunga might be the highlight and goal for many visitors, but the way back is equally interesting and beautiful.
