Trolltunga, or the "Troll's Tongue," is one of Norway's most breathtaking rock formations, attracting hikers from all over the world. Located near the city of Tyssedal, this stunning cliff juts out about 700 meters above Lake Ringedalsvatnet. To access Trolltunga, prepare for a challenging 28-kilometer round-trip hike, which can take between 10 to 12 hours, depending on your fitness level and weather conditions. The best time to visit is between mid-June and mid-September when the trail is snow-free and safer for trekking. It's advisable to start early in the morning to ensure you have ample daylight. Due to its difficulty, novice hikers may benefit from booking a guided tour, though experienced trekkers can undertake the journey solo. Always check weather conditions before setting out, as they can change rapidly. There is no entrance fee, but parking fees at the trailhead range from NOK 300-600. Proper preparation and caution are essential for a safe and enjoyable visit to this iconic Norwegian landmark.
