This is your chance to be up in the mountains when the sun plays the most spectacular light games – at sunset and sunrise! Trolltunga Active has chosen the spot thoroughly, so our base camp is located at a good distance from the main trail. The spacious dome tent surprises you with its comfortable facilities and see-through ceiling. Only here you can enjoy a dinner with such a view while listening to sounds of the Norwegian nature.
We call our tours to Trolltunga “summer” from May to November because either the snow has started to melt or it has already disappeared in some parts. Please note that there is a price difference at the beginning and at the end of the season as more hiking gear is required (snowshoes and microspikes might be used because of slushy snow).

Join Us for an Unforgettable Trolltunga Adventure: Glamping and Scenic Exploration!
Your adventure begins at the Trolltunga Active base located at P2 parking in Skjeggedal, where our team will prepare you for an incredible journey. To maximize your experience, we take a shuttle bus to P3, saving you both time and energy. This shuttle service is typically available from June to September, depending on road conditions.
There’s no need to rush; this tour is designed to give you time to soak in the breathtaking Norwegian landscape. Marvel at numerous mountain lakes, the steep rock faces of Ringedalen valley, and the majestic Folgefonna glacier shimmering in the distance. Along the way, your professional guide will share insights about mountain life and fauna, history, and maybe add some captivating Norwegian fairytales that bring the landscape to life.
As we approach the camp, you’ll be treated to stunning viewpoints along the trail, each offering unique perspectives of the surrounding natural beauty. About 3 km before reaching Trolltunga, arrive at our camp, where you can enjoy hot or cold beverages and snacks. Feel free to leave your backpacks here as we prepare for the final stretch of our hike.
As we arrive at the iconic "Troll's Tongue," most hikers will be heading down, allowing you to experience this stunning viewpoint without the crowds. Your guide will assist you in capturing unforgettable photos, including the famous 'needle view' of Trolltunga, ensuring you have a perfect memento of your adventure. Explore the surrounding area, take in the breathtaking vistas, and simply relish this extraordinary moment.
As the day transitions into evening, we’ll return to the cozy dome where a delicious dinner awaits. You have the option to engage in conversations, play games, read Norwegian stories, or simply enjoy the captivating colors of the evening sky.
Each dome accommodates six sleeping spots, and if you prefer more privacy, you can opt for a separate tent, which can be added during the booking process. With this option, all meals and social activities will still take place in the dome.
After a restful night in your dome, wake up to a brand new morning! You can choose to revisit Trolltunga while your guide prepares breakfast, or you can sleep in and awaken to the enticing aroma of freshly brewed coffee. After enjoying a hearty breakfast, we’ll pack our gear and start our hike back to civilization, typically returning to the starting point between 2 PM and 3 PM on the second day.

Even though you are visiting Norway in the summer, be aware that the weather conditions are highly unpredictable. They can change from minute to minute. Temperature can be deceiving as the wind plays an important role in how cold it feels. You might start your hike with summer temperatures in the valley and hike up the mountains where there are still big patches of snow. On rainy days low temperatures and cold winds can make the hike quite challenging, even in summer. On a beautiful day sunny day, you need to keep in mind, that you are very exposed on the mountain, make sure you prepare for hours out in the sun and stay hydrated.
A general thumb rule is: check the weather forecast, prepare for the worst conditions but do not overload your backpack, weight matters greatly when it’s about saving energy. Use the onion look: layers that can easily be taken on and off.
We do not cancel tours due to bad weather. The only times we cancel is when the bad weather becomes dangerous weather. We will inform you in case of cancellation. Please read our cancellation policies for more information.
