Trolltunga Zipline: Three lines over Ringedalsvatnet lake

Soar 200 metres above the lake on three ziplines through Norwegian mountain scenery

Trolltunga Zipline is a five-hour activity near Trolltunga in Western Norway where you ride three connected ziplines spanning 600 metres and descending 200 metres toward Ringedalsvatnet lake. A professional guide provides all safety equipment and leads a scenic 7 km walk along the lake before the ziplines, with a lunch break at the top. The activity starts at 9 am or 3 pm from Trolltunga Active Base in Skjeggedal. Minimum age is 12.

The experience

Three ziplines carry you 600 metres across the air, dropping you 200 metres toward Ringedalsvatnet lake below. The day opens with a meeting at Trolltunga Active Base in Skjeggedal, where your guide hands out the safety gear. From there, you walk and drive 7 km along the lake's edge: a route that once carried 19th-century tourists by horse cart and boat to see the Tyssestrengene waterfalls. The landscape holds that history. The path itself is the reason people came here when this was one of northern Europe's most visited regions.

After the lakeside walk, you hike 500 metres uphill to reach the first zipline. A lunch break sits at the top before you step into the harness and launch across the three lines. Each one angles downward toward the water, and the whole sequence takes you from the high point back down toward the lake in a single arc of motion. The return walk covers the same 7 km back to the parking area at Skjeggedal.

The activity runs five hours total and departs at either 9 am or 3 pm. A professional guide leads throughout and speaks English or Norwegian. This pairs well as a second-day activity if you're hiking Trolltunga itself on another visit: the ziplines offer a different kind of height and speed without repeating the same terrain.
