Things to do in Tyssedal

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.
