Trolltunga Via Ferrata

You will meet your guide at P2 parking in Skjeggedal, where you will get all the necessary gear. To start the day, we will walk along a lake on a gravel road for about an hour. Then only 1 km long but steep path will lead us to the start of the Via Ferrata. Usually, here we need to catch our breath and refresh ourselves before we go through the safety instructions. Your guide makes sure that everyone is ready and the climb starts. The higher you get, the nicer the views are! Underneath you can see the blue lake – Ringedalsvatnet and you gaze towards Folgefonna Glacier on the other side of the fjord. In the course of climbing the Via Ferrata, your guide gives you tips and tricks how to climb the most safely and efficiently and soon after 200m of climbing you reach the top.

Here the view over the steep canyon opens and you spot Trolltunga from a distance. We will take our lunch at this hidden spot before you start on the last 3km hike to reach “the Troll’s tongue”. And finally it is the time to get overwhelmed by the bucket list viewpoint! Arriving at the tourist crowds at Trolltunga, the other hikers are looking at you with surprised eyes as they see the helmet hanging on your backpack. After a photo-session here, we relax a bit more and when ready, we start to head back. The way back follows main trail (or there is the option to downclimb the Via Ferrata) and you will see how enjoyable it is to “just walk” after our previous adventures.
