Hiking trip with snowshoes

Climbing to the top of Trolltunga offers quite a different experience in the snow, compared to the hike during summer. Wearing skis and snowshoes makes the ascent to the top of Trolltunga easier.

The guided trip is arranged in the spring and the hike starts in Skjeggedal. The cross-country skiing commences at Topp, where the tour continues on skis up to the mountainside. At Gryteskar you will be met by a gargantuan view towards the glacier Folgefonna. The hike then continues towards Tyssebotn up to the final destination, Trolltunga.
