At Trolltunga, is autumn the most magical?

Autumn is, perhaps, the most rewarding time to hike the mountains of Western Norway. This is when they are at their most colourful splendour, the heather in fiery hues of red, yellow and orange.

In autumn, the air is crisp and the mountains are at their most colourful. In the autumn, especially, please be aware that the weather can change quickly, and the snow might come early.

Experienced hikers tend to be especially fond of the autumn; that’s when the mountains are most colourful, and the air is cool and invigorating. Since the days are shorter, it’s important to start your hike early in the day so you get back down before it’s dark.
On clear days, you can enjoy a magnificent sunset view of the Folgefonna glacier.

Snow usually arrives by mid-October, but you may experience snow showers earlier, and weather in the mountains can change abruptly.
