From Skjeggedal: Trolltunga Sunset Winter Overnight tour

From Skjeggedal: Trolltunga Sunset Winter Overnight tour

In wintertime, all hikes to Trolltunga start on P2 parking in Skjeggedal. Normally, it is necessary to walk with micro spikes or snowshoes a large part of the tour, that is why the hike during this season is more challenging. On the way up here, we stop by in our base camp and leave our backpacks here. Ahead of us is only the last short stretch to Trolltunga.   As the evening closes slowly in, we meet the last hikers going down. Once we reach Trolltunga, we are alone out there. A scary thought? Not at all. Because you know where you are staying tonight. You can look forward to a cup of hot chocolate, a warming fire and a delicious dinner. Yes, it is cold outside, and it is getting dark early. But once we are back in the domes, you can always curl up in your fluffy sleeping bag. After a long day out in nature, all is left is to relax and enjoy the spectacular night skies. Be aware that the weather during the Norwegian winter is unpredictable, it can change at any time. This is nature, it is pure and real up here! But do not worry, your guides are educated in reading the mountain conditions and has a lot of experience in this terrain. Your safety is our priority! That is why on the iciest days, we cannot guarantee that it will be safe to go down on the rock itself. We will make sure to show you alternative and equally beautiful photo spots and that you will feel like a true explorer after this overnight expedition.

Cliff Camping

Cliff Camping

During this activity, you will spend the night in a portaledge tent suspended on a cliff overlooking the fjord. These tents were developed by professional climbers for multi-day climbs. Since you are accompanied by an experienced guide, you don’t need prior climbing experience – just a good sense of adventure! The hike to your accommodation is a beautiful little path that takes you around 1h and opens up to spectacular views. Once you reach camp, your guide will show you around the area. You then have time to enjoy this beautiful piece of Norwegian nature and take a wander around. Dinner is prepared at camp and served by the bonfire – if the weather allows for it. You spend the evening with stories and amazing views before you climb down into your tent hanging on the cliff side 400m above Sørfjorden overlooking Folgefonna Glacier. After a beautiful evening and night out in the wilderness, you will be served breakfast before you pack up and hike back to civilization.

A breathtaking winter hike! This activity combines intense physical activity and magnificent landscapes. The guide was very knowledgeable and attentive to everyone's safety. We discovered isolated and beautiful places thanks to him. I highly recommend this unique experience to connect with nature in winter. And we finished the day in a super Arctic dome with a breathtaking view of the mountain, the experience is completed by a sublime dinner and breakfast with tastings of Norwegian specialties Thanks to Trolltunga Aventure and our two guides

5 out of 5 stars

It was exceptional. It the best spot you can have to sleep for a night , given it's not rainy or windy on that very day. Otherwise the guide Esther is super humble and friendly . It's a bit overpriced here on GYG, but you can find the same or Air BNB at a much lower price .

5 out of 5 stars

Very nice and competent guide with lots of great stories. A great experience to sleep in the igloo surrounded by snow. Simply a unique experience, I can recommend it to anyone who is physically fit and would like to experience Trolltunga without crowds.

Beautiful drive with an expert driver in a private van. Delicious, local lunch & pairings @ the cider farm. Maybe a bit more commentary re: the history of the area, but overall a wonderful day! Recommend! Thank you!

In the preseason in May there were few hikers on the way to Trolltunga 😄. We had great weather, a great mountain guide & enjoyed the hours in the Arctic Dome. The tour is recommended 👋🏼.
