The guide meets us at the quay and accompanies us on the bus to the foot of the mountain. From there, we enjoy a leisurely walk around the area, catching a distant view of the famous hole in Torghatten and taking in the stunning natural surroundings.

At the end of the tour, we gather by the bus where local snacks are served: mulled wine and lefse.

Please remember to wear warm, windproof clothing and good waterproof shoes. Walking poles, ice cleats and headlamps are available to borrow if needed.

Group walking toward Torghatten mountain in snowy twilight landscape near Brønnøysund

For thousands of years, the mythical mountain in the middle of Norway has been a distinct landmark, showing sailors a safe passage along the Norwegian coast. For just as long, the rock formation has been subject of fanciful stories about its special shape and the origin of the strange hole. The most famous legend from the area is about trolls, but it’s also the home of other mythical creatures. If you look very closely and keep an open mind, you might even discover such a creature in the twilight hour.  

During the winter, the tour will most likely happen after dark, but with a little luck, you may see how the shifting lights paint the scenery in stunning winter colours.
