Trolltunga, Norway by Tori

Trolltunga is one of those places that 100% needs to be visited at one point in your life.

Trolltunga is basically a large slab of rock that sticks out about 700m above lake Ringedalsvatnet and the surrounding canyon. The cliff also stands over 1, 100 meters above sea-level creating the most breath-taking views.

The large granite formation has been moulded and sculpted by nature over the past 10, 000 years and is only available to visit from about mid-June to mid-September.


The hike to the cliff is around 10-12 hours long and covers 23 kilometres but is still frequently visited by thousands of tourists even though there is little to no safety railings; there are a few small metal hooks have been placed into the rock to act as footholds.

Since my trip was during the cooler winter months, I wasn't able to make this journey but will certainly be apart of my travels in the near future.
