A Skjeggedal guiding company · Skjeggedal (P2)
A small team of guides meets you at Skjeggedal at 07:30, drives up to Mågelitopp when the road allows, and serves lunch, hot drinks and local snacks on the way to the rock. Pick it over the standard day hike if you'd rather not plan food for ten hours on a mountain.
The listing doesn't name its operator, but the details match the Day Hike on Trolltunga Adventures' site: meet at Skjeggedal (P2) at 07:30, drive up to Mågelitopp (P3) if conditions allow, which saves 4 km and 400 m of climbing, then walk about 20 km to the rock and back.
The difference is the food. Lunch, hot drinks and local snacks are included, and the guides carry them. You still bring water (1.5 litres is the operator's figure) and a few snacks of your own. The guides stop at viewpoints off the main line, and on a warm day there may be time for a swim in a mountain lake, so a towel isn't a silly thing to pack.
A few things to know. The tour needs at least three guests to run, and the company asks for travel insurance that covers adventure tours. P2 parking and the Odda shuttle cost extra. If the road to P3 is closed, you start on foot from P2 and the day grows to 28 km and 10 to 15 hours. With 23 reviews it has a shorter record than the guided summer hike. Check the listing's cancellation terms before you book.
