The Trolltunga Ziplines
Are you yearning for an exciting adventure with a huge “wow” factor? Then Trolltunga Ziplines is perfect for you! We cycle 7 km along Ringedalsvatnet lake, then hike 500 metres before flying through the air on Trolltunga Ziplines. All framed in by beautiful scenery.
We start our Trolltunga Ziplines adventure with a bicycle ride along the Ringedal lake. After about 7 km we park our bikes and walk steeply up a 500-metre slope. Here we will have a lunch break before you embark on a ride through the air on three ziplines, a total length of 600 metres. The zip lines bring you back down towards the lake, around 200 metres below. We can promise a fun and exciting day in stunning scenery!
If you want to combine the hike to Trolltunga with more action the next day, this tour is perfect for you! Trolltunga Ziplines will give you an exciting day together with family or friends.
