Trolltunga is without a doubt, one of the most scenic and most famous rock formations in Norway. It is a spectacular cliff hovering 700 meters above Ringedalsvatnet lake. This cliff is located in the Hardangervidda National Park, surrounded by stunning mountains and fjords. Trolltunga means “Troll’s Tongue” in English, and we probably don’t have to tell you why it got this name. Every year, thousands of people from all over the world come to Trolltunga to take a picture with this iconic cliff.

The hike to Trolltunga is considered a demanding hike due to its length and some parts with steep elevation. To complete this hike, you should be in good physical shape. There are three different places (parkings) from where you can start the hike. Depending on where you start, the hike is 38, 28 or 20 km in total. How long it takes you to complete the hike, depends on your pace, weather conditions and where you start the hike.
