Odda: Trolltunga Via Ferrata Guided Climb

Begin your Trolltunga Via Ferrata adventure at the P2 parking area in Skjeggedal. Here, participants meet their certified guide and receive all required climbing gear. The day starts with a 1-hour walk on a gravel road along Ringedalsvatnet Lake. The route then transitions to a short yet steep 1 km path leading directly to the Via Ferrata entry point.

Safety Briefing & Climb Start: At the base, the group pauses briefly before going through a comprehensive safety briefing led by the guide. Once ready, the ascent begins.

Via Ferrata Climb: As you gain elevation along the steel cable route, expansive views of Ringedalsvatnet below and the distant Folgefonna Glacier begin to appear. Over the 200-meter vertical climb, your guide provides continuous support—offering advice for safe and efficient progression.

Panoramic Viewpoint: Upon reaching the top, the path opens up to a wide view of the canyon with Trolltunga visible across the landscape. This secluded spot is ideal for a midday break before continuing.

Final Ascent to Trolltunga: The last section is a 3 km hike toward the Trolltunga rock formation. Upon arrival, you’ll encounter other hikers who took the standard trail—many noticing the Via Ferrata helmet as a mark of your route’s uniqueness.
