Get ready to (water)fall in love! The scenery and waterfalls, covered with blue ice, will simply take your breath away.

The path through Husedalen – the valley of waterfalls - is one of the most beautiful hikes in Norway.

Four gorgeous waterfalls are located close to each other along the hiking trail from Kinsarvik up to the Hardangervidda mountain plateau.

About the activity

The Hardanger region is filled with spectacular attractions and viewpoints. Most of them only visited by tourists during the main season in Summer. But the attractions are just as impressive during the winter season. Come and explore our spectacular nature during winter.

Meetup is at 10.00. We start with walking the gravel road to Kinso Powerplant and Tveitafossen/first waterfall. Depending on the conditions we put on the snowshoes, and start walk the path up to Nyastølsfossen. The scenery and waterfalls covered with blueice will simply take your breath away.

At Nykkjesøyfossen/third waterfall we have lunch. This is the normal ending point, but on request, we have time, and the group feels in good shape, we add the extra 1.5 hours hike up to Søtefoss/forth watefall.

For the return we walk the gravelled mountain road/not the path back to the starting point.

Weather

In Norway there is a saying that “There are no such thing as bad weather, only bad clothing”. Sometimes the bad weather turns out to be the most special: It is more mysterious, it creates a spectacular light play between the sun, clouds and rain, it makes you feel alive.  

The weather here on the west coast changes fast and therefore we only rely on the weather forecast 1-2 days ahead of the tour. We hope for the best but prepare for the worst conditions.  A good tip is to use the onion look: layers that can easily be taken on and off to adjust your temperature.  

If the “bad weather” is so bad that we consider it as dangerous we cancel the tours. We will inform you in case of cancellation. Please read our cancellation policies for more information.

What to bring
  • Water, lunch and snack for approximately 6 -7 hours
  • Shoes that you can bike and hike in
  • Clothes according to the weather
  • Wind/waterproof jacket
  • Wind/waterproof pants (in the case of very cold/rainy weather)
  • Warm midlayer
  • Gloves and hat/beanie  
  • Sunglasses and sunscreen
  • Backpack with approximately 30 litres capacity

Make sure you have extra clothes in the backpack so you can adjust whenever you need it to be comfortable both when biking and hiking.

FAQ

Can I bring my dog on a guided tour?

Notify us in advance. It depends on the other guests in the group, and the guides of that tour. We also have guides with dogs, and it is important for them to know about this case in advance. This is a long hike and is not suitable for some breeds especially small dogs. The Via Ferrata tours are not for dogs.

Can I rent equipment at the Trolltunga Active Base?

Yes, you can. We rent out wind- and waterproof/-resistant jackets, pants, shoes and backpacks.

Can I use bathroom during the tour?

No, there is no possibility during the tour. Therefore, we kindly ask you to use the bathroom before you meet your guide. There are public toilets at the tourist info, by the bus station, in the shopping mall SØRFJORDSENTERET in Odda and at Hotel Ullensvang in Lofthus.

Cancellation due to bad weather. Will I get a refund?

If you choose to not show up for your tour, there is no refund. If we cancel due to the weather, you get a full refund or change to another day. This might happen due to high avalanche risk or strong winds. Please read our General Terms and Conditions for more information.

Do I need any previous snowboarding experience?

No, you just need to bring some warm clothes and a good portion of motivation.

Is parking included in the guided tour?

The parking fee is not a part of the cost of your tour, because the P2 parking is owned by Ullensvang municipality, and it is not a part of our activity. The parking fee and the road toll is paid directly to them in a parking machine at the parking lot. To read more about the parking, its prices and what the parking fees are used for check: To Trolltunga by car / Parking

There is a minimum of 2 participants for Trolltunga Active in order to run the tour. What happens if I am the only one?

If you are the only person booked on a tour, we will ask you to move your booking to another day. If this is not possible, you will be refunded. You can wait until the evening before the hike to see if there are any last-minute bookings. Alternatively, if you really want to go and cannot reschedule, you can pay for a second ticket.

What is the info meeting about and is it mandatory?

The information meeting at 9pm at Trolltunga Hotel is for all guests coming on Trolltunga Active tours the next day. It is not mandatory; however, it is highly recommended. This is where you meet one the guides will tell you about tomorrow’s weather conditions, what to wear, what to bring and safety precautions. You are welcome to ask any questions that you have. Also, you get to meet some of your travel companions for the next day!

Why to join a guided tour?

Your guides are not just signposts. They are here also to provide you a safe trip, tips and trick on hiking and outdoor life and an explanation of local fauna a flora. During the tours, they share with you a lot of stories about local history and culture, best lunch spots and viewpoints. We also should not forget about your fellow travellers – you meet new people from all over the world and create great memories. All this combined explains how a simple hike can turn into an unforgettable experience!
