1. Trolltunga
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 1,340 reviews
Trolltunga – Norway's Most Spectacular Rock Formation Trolltunga is one of the most scenic and spectacular cliffs in Norway, hovering 700 metres above Ringedalsvatnet lake. Situated at the western edge of the Hardangervidda plateau, near the town of Odda, Trolltunga was carved by the icecap that once covered most of Scandinavia. The hike through high-mountain terrain up to Trolltunga (1180 m) is long and demanding, but you are rewarded with magnificent views. From the main trailhead at P2 in Skjeggedal, the round-trip hike is 28 km with an ascent of almost 800 metres. The estimated hiking time is 8–12 hours. There is an additional trailhead at P3 Magelitopp. The round-trip hike from P3 Magelitopp is 20 km with an ascent of about 320 metres. The estimated hiking time is 7–10 hours. Hikers need to be properly equipped and in good shape. All the info you need about hiking to Trolltunga: https://trolltunga.com/.

We took the Shuttle bus from the parking to the starting point of the actual walk. Unless you are very fit and will enjoy 9 additional KM steep up hill walk, i will strongly recommend this Shuttle bus, since the walk from the starting point and return is 20 KM. When we arrived at Trolltunga we had a great time enjoying this unique view. Absolutely worth the efforts and a great memory. Remember to take additional clothes and sufficient food and drinks.

Highly recommend taking this route instead of the worlds longest tunnel. Raw nature, sheep, small “ice bergs”, lakes, rivers, snow, raw rock and breath taking views - basically what you would expect going over the mountain. Would love to take my bike on this route some time as well - bring warm cloth ;)

The drive up this valley is absolutely breathtaking! One of the most beautiful drives we have taken in an already stunning country! Beware though, the road is narrow and not everyone understands that everyone needs to give space to each others! Lots of good hiking opportunities are also available through the valley.

7. Briksdal Glacier (Briksdalbreen)
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 970 reviews
Reviewed By watermelon1306
Visited Olden and Briksdal in June and it is definitely worth the visit and it exceeded all my exceptions. As you take the tranquil 45 minute walk to the glacier you are surrounded by breathtaking snow capped mountains, lush green spots of grass and mountain flowers and flowing waterfalls which you can stand beside and soak up its spray of water. However, if walking isn't your thing or you are unable to, you can take a troll car up the winding paths to the glacier although if you are able to make the trek it is 100% worth it.
8. Varden the Molde Panorama
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 184 reviews
From the Varden viewpoint (407 metres above sea level) there is a good view of the town of Molde, the fjord and islands and the famous Molde panorama with its 222 partially snow-clad peaks. On clear days you can see as far as the fishing village of Ona and the dreaded waters of Hustadvika. Ten minutes by car or an hour's walk along the nature trail from the centre of Molde. The Vardestua restaurant is at the top and marked trails take you into the Moldemarka countryside.

We drove up the mountain although if you like you can hike up, steep climb but plenty of places to rest. The view at the top is Spectacular on a clear day you may be able to see the 222 mountains peaks unfortunately our day was cloudy so we only got to see ( 111) Lol. No all jokes aside you will not be disappointed. At our visit the restaurant was closed so for toilet make your arrangements.

So beautiful town: colorful houses, flowers on the facades, leaf ornaments, forged twisted patterns, turrets in the corners. Guided tour with Uniktur is a good idea to get to know this town closer.
