2 Days in Hardanger - Trolltunga, Fjords and Local Experiences

Do you want to experience Trolltunga and Hardanger the way locals recommend?

Here, mountains, fjords, and great experiences lie close together - and in just two days, you can discover the very best the region has to offer.

Start with Trolltunga Via Ferrata - a climbing route up steep mountainsides, with views toward Lake Ringedalsvatnet and the Folgefonna glacier.

New for 2026 is the Sky Ladder from Trolltunga Active - a spectacular “ladder to the sky” for those who truly enjoy a sense of height. More excitement, more achievement, and fewer people.

Want to take it one step further?

Stay overnight in the mountains and experience sunset and sunrise at Trolltunga - something very few get to see. An experience that stays with you long after you’ve returned home.

After a day in the mountains, calm awaits.

Enjoy a great meal at Buer Restaurant before checking in and unwinding at Trolltunga Hotel - with views of mountains and fjords all around you.

Day two takes you from mountain to fjord.

Join a guided RIB safari on the Hardangerfjord and visit fruit farms and local producers - set within a landscape of steep mountains, living villages, and deep-rooted traditions.

Spend two days in Hardanger exploring Trolltunga Via Ferrata, local food and fjord experiences - all in one seamless journey from mountains to fjord.

Trolltunga with air beneath your feet

This is the adventure for those who want more than just a single highlight. In a short time, you’ll experience dramatic mountains, the remarkable fjord, and the flavors of Hardanger - brought together in one complete journey.

The adventure begins in the mountains with Trolltunga Sky Ladder Via Ferrata. Here, the guides from Trolltunga Active lead you up steep mountainsides - an entirely different experience from the traditional hike along the trail. Along the way, the views open up toward Lake Ringedalsvatnet, the sheer surrounding peaks, and the Folgefonna glacier in the distance. This is Trolltunga from a new perspective - more active, more varied, and with a sense of achievement you won’t get from the regular path.

For those looking for something extra, the experience can be extended with mountain glamping. Experiencing Trolltunga at sunset and in the early morning light offers a completely different impression of the place - quieter, closer, and without the large crowds.

Culinary highlights

After memorable moments in the mountains, a well-earned reward awaits in Buerdalen. Here you’ll find Buer Restaurant, surrounded by dramatic West Norwegian nature at the gateway to Folgefonna National Park.

The restaurant has received strong reviews locally, regionally, and nationally - and for good reason. Chefs with experience from Michelin-starred kitchens create refined dishes based on fresh, local ingredients. The combination of creativity in the kitchen and the striking natural setting makes the meal a complete experience you won’t soon forget.

As evening arrives, it’s a short journey onward to Trolltunga Hotel. Beautifully located between the fjord and Lake Sandvinvatnet, the hotel offers views of steep mountains, waterfalls, and glacier landscapes. Here you stay comfortably in a historic building upgraded with modern facilities - and with the calm you need after an active day.

Fjord, speed, and fruit farms

Day two takes you from the high mountains down to the fjord - where the story of Hardanger continues.

By RIB, you experience the landscape from a new perspective. You feel the speed, see the mountains rising straight from the fjord, and discover the contrasts that make the region so distinctive - from open, shifting fjord scenery to steep mountainsides and vibrant villages along the shore.

Along the way, you’ll visit the fruit-growing villages where Hardanger shows its most characteristic side. Here you’ll find some of the country’s leading producers and a cultural landscape shaped by generations of fruit farming. It is here that the foundation of what many call Hardanger’s “liquid gold” is created - through raw ingredients, knowledge, and traditions that have put the region on the map far beyond Norway.
