Day 6: Odda/Trolltunga/Odda

Start place: Odda

Gear up for the highlight of the week – a challenging full-day hike up to the most famous rock formation in Norway. Trolltunga (the "Troll's Tongue") grants breathtaking views from 700m (2,296 ft) above the Ringedalsvatnet lake and surrounding fjordland. Trolltunga is one of this area's most popular and challenging hiking destinations. It requires preparation from hikers.

This hike will take an estimated 10-12 hours, with the hiking route almost completely on a gradient. Compared with our full-day hike early in the week, Trolltunga will physically demand more - with the reward of unrivalled views across Norway's famous fjords.
