What is Trolltunga?

Norway is well known for its scenic beauty with its Norwegian fjords and mountains, and Trolltunga is one of the most famous landmarks in Norway. Getting a picture of yourself at the top of Trolltunga is a dream come to true for those looking for famous Instagram spots. The rock formation is considered one of the best places to hike in Norway.
Jutting out of the mountainside, approx. 700 meters above Ringedalsvatnet lake, the formation looks like a tongue, hence the name Trolltunga, 'The Troll's tongue'. Take in breathtaking views over the mountains and the magnificent Folgefonna glacier.
