Trolltunga (“Trolls` Tongue”) is a most special mountain rock formation which has become extremely popular, visited by hikers from all over the world.
This 10 – 12 hours hike in high mountains is both challenging and demanding, which requires that you are in physically good condition.
Our aim for this trip is to combine the hike to Trolltunga to a 5-days bicycle trip in Hardanger. Totally this trip lasts for five days with four days of bicycling and two days of hiking. This trip is only available as guided.
