A Guide To Hiking Trolltunga And Camping Overnight (During The Off Season)

When I was doing my research about Trolltunga, I could tell it was an epic hike and something that I would really love to do. However, I was here in May and that was the off season for hiking.
The internet was recommending guided walks but that was not something I wanted. I was hesitant at first as I did not know what conditions I would face. I decided to go ahead anyways and decided to film my experience so you can make an informed decision when considering this hike. I hope you enjoy watching this video as much as i enjoyed making it.
P.s Weather here in May is really unpredictable and I had to wait for 2 rainy days to pass before attempting to hike. Something that you should take into consideration when planning your itinerary.

Thanks man im thinking of going this October myself alone.

[@BernardLau1991]

Gamer 4 life it’s a good hike and I would totally recommend you bring a tent so you can spend the night there and have the place to yourself 😁

[@timmo5192]

@@BernardLau1991 Hey yeh im going to buy tent this week but I will use it on other places also on the trip. Thanks :) Good idea to stay night there.

[@MapsWithNoRoads]

Thanks for the info! I plan on doing this hike in July, but looping around the other side of the lake for a 3 day trip. Any insight on the condition of the trail on the southern side? Great channel by the way. Subscribed.

[@BernardLau1991]

Hey! Thanks for the support! Unfortunately, I only did this route and have no idea about the other one you mentioned. Sorry! :/

[@roele2413]

I am amazed about how quiet is was, so few people doing this?

[@BernardLau1991]

Roel E in the summer months I heard there is a lot of people attempting the hike. But I did it right before summer. Maybe that’s why it was relatively quiet :)

@@BernardLau1991 great! :D and good to know haha

[@joivivre6163]

Enjoyed your video! Any idea how cold it gets overnight while you camped?

[@BernardLau1991]

Thanks! :) I'm pretty sure it was below 5 degrees haha. Bring many layers and a sleeping bag

Hi, I am planning to go this 30th May I am wondering if you brought any snow spikes with you and where do you set up your camp?

[@BernardLau1991]

I didn’t use any snow spikes. I don’t think it is necessary as the conditions aren’t that extreme. But then again, it’s good to be prepared for any weather. There are no camping restrictions so I camp literally next to the iconic spot. Hope this helps!

Planning to hike next week😅 is it mandatory to have a guide if the trail is still with snow?

[@BernardLau1991]

Apple Joy Viernes nope you won’t need a guide but they do recommend you have one for safety. I did it when there was snow on the trail and I did feel quite safe haha. Plus there are other groups with guides and I’m sure they will offer assistance if you need any. 😂

[@SoleSistersPH]

Bernard Lau Thanks😊 Keep safe on your next hike.

[@BernardLau1991]

Apple Joy Viernes thanks! Enjoy trolltunga 😁
