Be prepared

The weather in the high mountains can change suddenly. Always check the weather forecast before starting. Never hike to Trolltunga if there is a strong wind, heavy rain or fog. Remember that it is always colder up in the mountains than down by the fjord.

Hiking seasons

During the summer season, from June 1st to September 30th, experienced hikers can hike on their own. For the rest of the year, we recommend a guided hike. Start early to ensure you return before dark.

When is sunrise and sunset at Trolltunga?

‍Did you know that daylight at Trolltunga varies from almost 19 hours in summer to less than 6 hours in winter?

Plan your hike carefully and allow plenty of time for both ascent and descent, including photo breaks and some extra time to enjoy the stunning views! For safety – bring a headlamp. The descent can be challenging, especially when you're tired.

Start early and make sure to return to the parking lot well before it gets dark.

Sun graph

The sun graph on timeanddate shows sunrise, sunset, and the length of the day. You can enjoy magical sunsets at Trolltunga when the weather is nice. That’s a wonderful time to take photographs. However, because the sun rises behind the mountain, you won’t be able to capture a photo of Trolltunga with the sunrise.
