Trolltunga Hotel

We were amazed to find that this hotel was so nice in such a remote location. The rooms were simple, but clean and comfortable. The common areas were a step up - a patio overlooking the lake and the rushing river, sofas with a fireplace, and wine, beers and ciders to cheer from the front desk. Cocktails could also be ordered. The morning buffet had a lot of variety: eggs, potatoes, meats, cheeses, vegetables, etc. (see photos). In the evening, the restaurant turns into a lovely spot for a quiet dinner with floor to ceiling windows overlooking the water. The menu is limited, but excellent in quality (on the pricier side). Before and after hiking, we were glad we did not have to look elsewhere for meals. There is a washer available (fee), and the door stays locked by the front desk. I really appreciated that. You can also store your luggage. When you book at this hotel, they offer a ride up to Skjeggedal P2 in early season if you also book with Trolltunga Active for the hike. The owner gave us a ride up. His company is interested in preserving the environment around the Trolltunga trail, so they don't have their trail guests swim or wander far off the trails. I respect that. It was an all-in-one stay that made our logistics easier, and I highly recommend the whole package.
