How long does Trolltunga take?
From P2 Skjeggedal: 27 km round trip, 8–12 hours. From P3 Mågelitopp: 20 km, 7–10 hours. The hike is graded very demanding. It is not an evening stroll from Odda.
The figures are from the official Trolltunga site. Hardanger Shop is an online store. We have no physical shop in Odda, and we do not run the trail.
Where to start
| Start | Distance | Time |
|---|---|---|
| P3 Mågelitopp | 20 km round trip | 7–10 hours |
| P2 Skjeggedal | 27 km round trip | 8–12 hours |
| P1 Tyssedal | 38 km round trip | about 15 hours |
P3 usually needs a booking in high season. Check parking and buses on trolltunga.com before you drive.
When is it open?
Experienced hikers can go independently 1 June–30 September. Outside that window: a guided hike. July and August are busiest, especially 12:00–15:00 on the rock itself. Start early enough to be down before dark.
What to carry
Mountain weather turns quickly, and it is colder up there than by the fjord. Wool next to skin, an insulating mid-layer, windproof and waterproof shell. Food, water, a headlamp. Do not go in strong wind, fog or heavy rain. Emergency number 112. Three rescue huts on the trail (Floren, Endåen, Tyssehøl).
Children under 12 are not recommended. You need the fitness for a full day in the mountains.
After the hike
Odda is the base, not a high street with our counter on it. The designs we print are made to order and posted: Trolltunga — photo · Trolltunga — tourist · I Love Odda.
