If you check ut.no, you will see that there is a path on the otherwise of the stream. But it looks really, really steep. Also there is the path on the otherwise of the lake, but that's way longer and even more difficult.
As far as I know, only one person died near the tongue (was not even on it anymore when she felt down) so far, it is one too many, but you made it sound more dramatic than necessary. Also, the hike is so popular in summer (I did it last week), that doing it alone without a guide was not that bad as you are not quite "alone" anyway.
The goal of the video is that you come prepared and clear of the dangers. When I started planning for that video, the situation was way more chaotic. Only falls which are 100% sure that they are not suicides are mentioned in the media, that way there are so few mentions.
- If you go in low season like mid september, during on weekday you will be pretty alone. - There are other ways to trolltunga, but they are even harder - Do another hike, only 0.01% of all the hikes in Norway as so crowded.
It's not recommended to track alone, you can't count on there being a phone connection, if it's far away from people, and if there is no one else around, you might find yourself in a difficult and even deadly situation.
@@XploreNorway September still so much ppl, ouch, i hear school restarts august 22 and thus slows down Norwagian in own country tourism. But you went weekend, i already plan non weekend ;D
@@Matti6950 That filmed on a Saturday, so you get the locals who go there in addition. This is one of the few video, I delegated the filming to a friend. I need to instruct him better next time.
You really want some hiking fun? Start at parking P2 and climb via the forest to Trolltunga. It only took me two hours to climb four km. So yeah, it's very steep. On the positive side: my hike only lasted 8 hours and was 23 km long.
beautiful view, there's another way to get from P2 to P3 ... road is boring

How long did it take you to get up from P2 with heavy backpacks to camp with?
My friends who filmed it needed 5 hours from P2 to Trolltunga. But they didn't camp, and are well trained.

We are planning for nov 1 week for hike , is there chances of snow fall ?
There is 99% chance for snow. And there is not enough daylight to do the hike.
@@XploreNorway thanks , we will plan accordingly
@@XploreNorway hello , Do you have kind of guide reference who can guide during hike ?
❤
When was this hike ? May 2024 ??
The video was released in April. It was filmed beginning September 2023. We usually film the things during summer of the year before it is published.
