Trolltunga

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.

Lovatnet Lake

Reviewed By Dalle1985 - Esbjerg, Denmark

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.

North Cape

Reviewed By Dizzi57

Did the North Cape tour off a Hurtigruten cruise. Beautiful and scenic bus trip and then we got to the Cape. Very, very lucky with the weather, clear skies and lots of snow. Got some great photos and would recommend. It would be worthwhile to see in Summer, totally different outlook then.

The Telemark Canal

Reviewed By Ingrid80302 - Boulder, United States

We took the Ibsen from Ulefoss to Skien, and we immensely enjoyed ourselves. Our boat had a group of Norwegian pensioners enjoying themselves, which made me realize that this is what the locals do. The boat is beautiful as is the scenery. There are drinks and pastries for purchase on board, and the staff is friendly and informative. A visit to the Telemark region is a must for someone seeing Norway.

Briksdal Glacier (Briksdalbreen)

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.

Pyramiden

With a fascinating historical background and after being preserved in 1998, Pyramiden is now our Arctic time-machine back to USSR, a piece of land surrounded by magnificent natural landscapes with mountains and valleys. Here you will have a unique chance to immerse into the atmosphere of the Soviet period, visit buildings well-saved after this time, hear the stories of then and now, and even see a movie screening in the northernmost film stock cinema via refurbished original cine-projectors. Anyone who has spent in Pyramiden at least a couple of hours makes a point in this place's extraordinary essence. Today the town "frozen in time" is open and it grows as a tourist location with a cozy hotel and restaurant where the interior has been kept in original decorations from the Soviet period. In 1995 and 2018 King Harald V and Queen Sonja visited Pyramiden and came by the restaurant for a short coffee break.

This was my fourth stay in Pyramiden-and this place get better for each time I come there!. And-now there is 4G coverage in Pyramiden (Telenor network),so those that does not own a satphone Can get a more safe and comfortable stay there. The hotel has expanded its restaurant and bar-so it Can handle even more guests. And there is now also a café at the culture building where you Can enjoy coffee,tea,beer from Barentsburg-and of course Vodka!. The Cinema has also re-opened after 20 years-so now it is also possible to watch a movie there. The rooms in the hotel are all fully renovated-and even better than the ones in Longyearbyen-and the price for staying there is a bargain compared to what you pay in Longyearbyen. I never get tired of visiting this place-it is pure magic!. Try to get the permission to rent a rifle at the Sysselmannen homepage-and rent one before you go to Pyramiden.Then you Will have the full Freedom to Explore this wonderfull place!!!.
