Their experienced guides have in-depth knowledge of the high-mountain terrain and are familiar with the shifting weather conditions, ensuring a safe and inspiring hike on the Trolltunga Trail.

Trolltunga Via Ferrata
For adventure seekers, we recommend the Trolltunga Via Ferrata – an exhilarating journey that combines climbing and hiking. After ascending the 250-meter Via Ferrata route, you’ll hike the final 3 km on foot to reach Trolltunga itself. The return follows the standard trail.
This is a challenging yet incredibly rewarding experience for those looking for something out of the ordinary. This excursion is available as both a day trip and an overnight adventure.

Winter hikes
The winter months are probably the most exotic time to experience Trolltunga. Winter offers breathtaking sunrises and sunsets, and the deep silence of the snow-covered highlands is something you simply have to experience.
However, snow and ice, unpredictable winter weather, and short, cold days make this a true expedition-level challenge. By joining a winter hike with an experienced mountain guides from
Trolltunga Active or Trolltunga Adventures, you can feel confident that you will safely conquer the challenge.
Trolltunga looks especially majestic when the mountain is covered with snow!
Trolltunga covered by snow is an experience of a lifetime! During the winter, the mountain is pristine and delightfully uncrowded. At this time of the year, you will have the Trolltunga almost for yourself. Granted, the challenging conditions and sudden weather changes call for good preparation. Professional experienced guides will make sure you have a safe and memorable adventure.
In winter, you should hike only with a guide!
