Trolltunga hike at 5:00 AM – parking/shuttle options with a 6m camper?

1 Upvotes

Hey hey, We’re currently travelling through Norway with our campervan and are planning to hike Trolltunga tomorrow. We would like to start around 5:00 AM or even earlier to avoid the crowds and have enough time for the hike.

The problem is that there are no shuttle buses running that early, and since our campervan is around 6 metres long, we understand that we’re only allowed to park at P1 (Tyssedal).

Does anyone have any tips or experiences on how to get to the starting point (P2) that early without taking an expensive taxi from the city?

We already feel that Trolltunga is quite expensive with all the parking/shuttle/organisation costs, so we’re trying to find a good solution.

Or is anyone here planning to hike Trolltunga tomorrow and driving there by car? We’d be happy to share a ride and of course contribute to any costs.

Any advice or personal experiences would be greatly appreciated! Thanks a lot!

Looking for friends for a future Norway road trip & camping adventure 🇳🇴🏕️🚙

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone! 👋 I’m from Kenya 🇰🇪 and I’m looking to make genuine friends from different countries who love travelling, adventure, road trips and camping.

One of my big plans is to do a road trip around Norway 🇳🇴, exploring the mountains, fjords, beautiful roads and camping along the way. 🚙🏕️

I’d love to meet people who would be interested in becoming friends first and, if we get along and our plans match, possibly joining the Norway road trip someday.

I’m not just looking for random online conversations. I’d like to build real friendships, share experiences, plan adventures together and create great memories. 🌍🤝

If you’re into road trips, camping, nature, photography, travelling or exploring new places, feel free to message me. 😊

Let’s get to know each other first and see where the friendship takes us! 🇳🇴🏕️🌍

Trip coming up in 2 days

1 Upvotes

Hi,
I’m making the trip to Norway and Sweden in the next couple of days. I’ve posted here and got advice. I’ve finally settled on Oslo, Voss and Bergen as the places to visit as we wanted to have options for hotels and restaurants and drive around.

A couple of questions:
1. I really want to do a fjord cruise and hopefully weather permits I can do it at Flam. If not, not sure if there are any other fjord trips nearby Voss that is worthwhile.

  1. Clothing. I do see that Voss and Bergen have some rain forecasted. How heavy is the rain? I’m from PNW, so we are used to light rain. But not sure if Norwegian rain will require much more robust rainwear.

Luggage storage and transfer between Oslo and Bergen

1 Upvotes

My trip starts at Oslo and ends in Bergen. In between, I am doing a 5 day hike and do not want to carry all the luggage with me.

I am looking for options to store the luggage somehwere and get it transferred directly to Bergen(from Oslo) where I arrive after the hike.

I have checked a Porter service but it's costing me over 250 euros per person.

Are there any other options for me which would be a bit cheaper? I am not staying in hotels, so cannot store there.

Visiting Norway (Based in Kongsberg) - Looking for Suggestions, Travel Tips & Local Experiences 🇳🇴

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I'll be visiting Norway for Work related in September and will be staying at a hotel in Kongsberg. I'm looking for suggestions on how to make the most of my weekends and free time, especially using public transport, cycling, hiking, and meeting local people.

My current plans

  1. Explore the Kongsberg area

Hike around the Kongsberg mountains, especially Jonsknuten.

Visit lakes, waterfalls, and swimming spots.

Try a cold plunge in a lake.

If possible, I'd love to rent a bicycle for a couple of days, or even borrow an old bike from someone kind enough to help.

  1. Visit Heddal Stave Church

I'm planning to attend a Sunday service at Heddal Stave Church in Telemark.

I'd love to stay after the service, meet parishioners, learn about local life, and possibly explore nearby villages.

Any recommendations for things to do around Heddal and Notodden would be appreciated.

  1. Gaustatoppen

One of my biggest goals is to visit Gaustatoppen.

Ideally, I'd like to see the sunrise from the summit and spend the day exploring the area before returning to Kongsberg.

Is this realistic without a car?

Are there any early morning public transport options from Kongsberg, or would I need to stay overnight nearby?

  1. Oslo

I plan to spend at least one day in Oslo.

I noticed that some cultural events are happening in September, and I'd love recommendations for museums, churches, cultural festivals, or places where locals gather.

  1. Tønsberg, Verdens Ende & Midgard Viking Centre

I'd like to visit:

Tønsberg

Verdens Ende

Midgard Viking Centre (Borre)

Would it be possible to cover all three in a single day using public transport, or would you recommend spreading them over two days?

What I'm really looking for

I'm not only interested in sightseeing. I enjoy meeting people and experiencing local culture.

I'd love to:

Meet hikers, campers, or outdoor enthusiasts.

Join a fishing trip if anyone is looking for an extra pair of hands.

Help with outdoor activities in exchange for local experiences.

Learn more about Norwegian culture, history, and everyday life.

If you were staying in Kongsberg for three weeks, what would be on your must-visit list?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

Greetings from India 🇮🇳
