Hello guys ! Now I'll talk about my first trip in Norway !
My news friends and I, we decided to begin a trip early because the weather was suitable before the winter...
So two weeks before the departure, we had made a meeting point to organize the trip.
First of all, we check what was the transport the cheaper to go to Bergen, it was the plane. Because between Trondheim and Trolltunga there are 7 hours of cars and the essence is expensive... We compared the price on websites famous like : KAYAK, SKYSCANNER... In Norway, often it's the plane company named : SAS is cheaper.
At the end, I buy my ticket plane for 130€.
! Good to know ! If you want to take your plane with the company SAS you can have a reduce if you have less than 26 years old. You must put on the button "Book Youth Ticket" it's below where you put the destination etc.
The airport the close near of Trolltunga is Bergen. So we had to rent a car at the airport of Bergen at Hertz. We booked it directly on the website. We took the cheaper one. It was a Hybrid Yaris of Toyata.
To rent for a car is expensive in Norway... If I can give you an advice, it's to leave at 5 persons, like us, to divide the price at maximum. I don't remember the price exactly but it was around at 350€ for 3 days. The gasoline for the week-end was 40€ whereas we made more than 8 hours of road.
After, we booked a Airbnb near of Trolltunga. We were at 44 minutes to the hiking.
This latter it has returned for 60€ per nights for everybody. I don't recommande this house... It was very strength. Anyway, we were in the little city of Odda. It's very close of Trolltunga. (Look at on the map below).
You have to be careful about the "ferry" because we did not know that we had to take this one and it's expensive. For 4 persons (they do not count the last person) it's 250 Nok (25 €).
So now, after spending I'm going to talk about the trip !
DAY 1 :
During our journey, to go to our Airbnb, we had 3 hours of cars... It was long and we were angry etc. But, some kind waterfall were at the side of road and it was like a gift for us to enjoy of landscapes.
The first one was the more little but we could climb the stairs to the top to pass behind the waterfall. (picture below).
After, we're going to continue the drive when others waterfalls appeared...
It was really amazing ! The name of these waterfalls are : Låtefossen and Furebergsfossen It's near of Odda.
Finally, we took the car to go to our Airbnb and rest for the next day...

DAY 2 :
The important day is arrived : Let's go for fun adventures !
TROLLTUNGA means "Troll's tongue".
If you want make this hiking you have to be in good health and to be a minimum sportive. The total hours (around trip) is : 10 hours with break. Finally, with the lunch and the queue to take the photo, we did 12 hours and 28km.
You must begin the hiking between 7.00 a.m. and 9.00 a.m. if you want arrive early and take the photo without a long queue. You have several car park to leave your car. We put our car at the first car park and we have paid : 150 Nok (around 17€) for all the day. After, a bus take you until the beginning of hiking (15 minutes in bus) and you pay 50 Nok by person. Expect if you go until the last car park at the same price who is at the beginning.
There is a carpark at 500 Nok and you don't make the three first kilometers.
Now, I leave you to enjoy the pictures :
In my opinion, Trolltunga is the most beautiful place in Norway. It's not a Fjord because it's a lake (map above) but it would seem that nature purposely has positioned the rock at this place ! It's fantastic :)
Despite the long queue (2.30 hours of waiting), after 5 hours by walk you have a beautiful surprise and you can enjoy your lunch with this breathtaking scenery and and that's priceless !
