How Long Will It Take?
It took us 11 hours round trip. That’s from the Skjeggedal parking lot, six hours of hiking to the top including stops for lunch and photos, an hour at Trolltunga, and then four excruciating hours back down to the parking lot. We have friends who did the whole trip in 8 hours, so it’s really up to how in-shape you are, what the weather’s like and how quickly you hike.
How To Get There
Odda is the main town and point of reference you want to reach. It is located at the southern tip of the Sørfjorden fjord, and you can get there from Bergen or Oslo by bus or train. We took a 1.5 hour long train ride from Bergen to Voss, followed by a bus which took us the remainder of the way (2 hours to Odda). If taking public transpo, it can be a tricky place to get to so be aware that you may be taking several modes of transportation. Once you reach Odda, you’ll take a bus through Tyssedal and then up to the mountain settlement of Skjeggedal. This bus is only 48 NOK and is probably the best and easiest way to get there without a car. The trailhead for Trolltunga begins in Skjeggedal.
