Today, I want to return on one of my best experience in Norway: The Trolltunga hike. Trolltunga, translated to “Troll’s Tongue”, is a famous hiking in Norway.
The mountain is located at three hours of cars from Bergen. Thus, we woke up at 3:30 AM to start the hiking at 7 AM. It is a long and hard hike of 22 kilometers. We spent around 9 hours: 4 hours to go up, 3,5 to go down and 1,5 hours at the top.This is one of the most physically demanding adventures I have ever done on in my life! The first kilometer is harsh and you are surprised when you get to the first kilometer sign because it feels like you have done a lot more than that…
But the view was worth hiking this mountain. The landscapes are just breath-taking all along the way! You will see gorgeous blue lakes and impressive landscapes that cannot be described…
And after 11 kilometers… ultimate aim:
The rock is situated about 1100 meters above the lake Ringedaksvatnet so the view was just awesome, as you can see on this picture.
It is a touristic walk but dangerous. Indeed, you should be ready! Like said our exchange students’ responsible: “Never enough food”. And you should be prepped physically! Thus, some Norwegian students at the beginning of this year organized some workouts.
Since the middle of September, it is too late to hike this mountain alone: you need a guide.
