Combine two amazing tours, via Ferrata and hiking to Trolltunga, on this unique excursion featuring an overnight stay in an Arctic Dome from Tyssedal! Welcoming explorers ages 15 and up.

Trolltunga (translated as 'troll's tongue') is a distinctive and iconic rock formation located in southwestern Norway that juts out horizontally from the side of the mountain approximately 700 meters (2,300 feet). Trolltunga is situated on the north side of Lake Ringedalsvatnet and offers awe-inspiring views of the Ringedalen Valley and the Folgefonna Glacier. When travelling to beautiful Norway, a visit to Trolltunga is a must for all outdoor adventure enthusiasts and nature lovers! This guided via Ferrata, hiking to Trolltunga, and overnight stay in an Arctic dome from Tyssedal is an incredible way to immerse yourself in the spectacular Norwegian wilderness!

The fun starts at the meeting point in Skjeggedal, Tyssedal, where you and your group (a maximum of 5 participants) will be greeted by your professional guide. After you've received the safety and itinerary briefing, you'll set off on the 1 km (0.6 mile) uphill hike to the via Ferrata departure point. Upon your arrival, you'll have a short break as your guide provides an introduction to via Ferrata and climbing techniques, along with a safety review. With your helmet and harness on, your instructor will double-check the equipment and hook you into the rope. Next, get ready for the thrill of a lifetime as you climb for approximately 2 hours, enjoying a healthy dose of adrenaline and the awe-inspiring view below. Once you've reached the top, you'll feel a sense of victory and exhilaration like none other!

The hiking to Trolltunga excursion continues a short distance to the Arctic Dome, where you'll leave your belongings and will be treated to hot and cold drinks as well as a well-earned break. Next, you and your group will depart for the famous Trolltunga. There, your guide will take photos of you and your group to mark this very special occasion! At an elevation of 1,100 metres (3,609 feet) above sea level, the view is absolutely breathtaking. After this remarkable experience, you'll return to the Arctic Dome for a delicious, traditional, Norwegian dinner, followed by a relaxing and cosy evening in the wilderness.

The following morning, you have the opportunity to visit Trolltunga again on a self-guided hike as your guide prepares a hearty breakfast. Once you've packed your belongings, you'll take the low-impact and downhill tourist trail back to the original departure point in Skjeggedal with memories that will last a lifetime of your overnight stay, via Ferrata excursion, and hiking to Trolltunga from Tyssedal!
