Trolltunga

Without doubt, the Trolltunga is the most known mountain icon in this area. Odda is the perfect spot and offers numerous possibilities to climb this epic mountain. The classic trail or a challenging route on Via Ferrata. Or how about Glamping on Trolltunga, a unique experience where one gets to enjoy both the sunset and sunrise, almost to your selves? The night is spent in a comfortable and transparent dome, where you are granted a majestic view of beautiful mountains and fjord landscapes. It can not be described it must be experienced.

On the fjord

While in Odda a visit to the fjord is almost a must. One popular activity is the rib-boat trip on Hardangerfjorden which includes a stopover at a lush orchard where you get to taste the famous Hardanger Cider.
If you`re in for a more peaceful water activity, the kayak trip on the Sandvin Lake is a beautiful experience. It`s said that this lake and landscape were the inspiration for the famous painting from 1848 by Tidemand & Gude «Brudeferd i Hardanger» - Honeymoon in Hardanger.
