Odda Walking Tour
Odda, Norway
Why Walk Odda
Odda sits at the head of Sorfjorden, a branch of Hardangerfjord, and serves as the primary base for hiking to Trolltunga (Troll's Tongue). This horizontal rock formation juts out 2,300 feet above the turquoise Lake Ringedalsvatnet. The hike is one of Norway's most iconic, covering 17 miles round trip with 2,600 feet of elevation gain. The surrounding Hardangervidda plateau is the largest mountain plateau in northern Europe.
