Important information about Trolltunga – road closed

There have recently been several rockslide incidents along Skjeggedal Road, and Ullensvang Municipality has therefore closed the road between P1 Tyssedal and P2 Skjeggedal. The closure applies to all traffic and access.

This means that it is currently not possible to reach Skjeggedal, Mågelitopp, or the starting point of the Trolltunga hike while the road remains closed. It is also not permitted to pass the barriers on foot.

The reason for the closure is an acute risk of rockslides and necessary safety work in the area. The safety of everyone travelling in the area is the highest priority, and the closure must be respected.

The road will initially remain completely closed until 8 June. After this date, controlled traffic management is expected while the safety work continues through July. Dates may change if conditions in the area require it, and we ask all visitors to follow updated information from Ullensvang Municipality and Trolltunga.

We fully understand that this is disappointing for those who had been looking forward to hiking Trolltunga. At the same time, this is an area with a real risk of rockslides, and it is important that everyone respects the barriers and information from the authorities. Ignoring the closure is both dangerous and a violation of a legally binding decision.

Trolltunga will still be there — and we look forward to welcoming you back when the road to Skjeggedal is once again safe and open.

Although Trolltunga is not accessible at the moment, there are still many things to experience in Hardanger. Several of Norway’s most popular hikes and nature experiences are located nearby, with fjord views, waterfalls, glaciers, lush valleys, and landscapes that leave lasting impressions.

In the areas around Odda, Ullensvang, and Folgefonna you will find great alternatives such as Dronningstien, Husedalen, Bondhusvatnet, Buerbreen, and the Blue Ice Hike on Folgefonna with Folgefonni Breførarlag. These experiences showcase some of the very best Hardanger has to offer — from dramatic mountains and glacier landscapes to peaceful walks along lakes and waterfalls.

Before heading out, always check the weather forecast, trail conditions, and practical information for your chosen hike. Choose routes according to your fitness level, experience, and conditions — and feel free to ask the tourist information office for advice if you are unsure.

We hope you take the opportunity to experience more of Hardanger while Trolltunga is inaccessible, and we warmly welcome you back to Trolltunga at a later time.
