Frequently asked questions
How high does the helicopter fly over Trolltunga?
The exact cruising altitude varies with weather and air traffic control clearances, but the flight is designed to give you a direct aerial view of the Trolltunga ledge and the Hardanger Fjord below it. Your guide can confirm the typical altitude on the day.
What's the most intense moment of the flight?
The approach over Trolltunga is the peak of the experience: the rock ledge juts out roughly 700 m above Lake Ringedalsvatnet, and seeing that drop from the air is a different level from any ground-level photo. The transition from fjord to sheer cliff face happens fast.
Is prior experience needed to board?
No. All tours are listed as 'Everybody welcome,' meaning no physical fitness level or prior aviation experience is required. You board, you fly, you watch.
How long is the actual flight time?
Flight times vary significantly between packages. The entry-level tour by Activity Norway AS at 1636.66 € offers a 24 min flight, while the full-day 8h tours include ground transfers and briefings alongside the aerial experience.
Can I take photos and video during the flight?
Helicopter tours in Norway typically allow personal cameras and smartphones on board, but confirm with Activity Norway AS or CANNONBALL AS before departure. A window seat matters: ask at check-in to maximise your angles over the cliffs.

Practical info
Equipment
Dress in warm layers: helicopter cabins can get cold at altitude, and an 8-hour day means temperature changes between ground and air. Bring a fully charged camera or phone and a wide-angle lens if you have one, because the Trolltunga overhang and the Hardanger Fjord are best captured with as wide a frame as possible.
Getting there
Tours offer either a central meeting point in Bergen or direct pickup at your accommodation in Bergen or Haugesund, depending on the specific package selected.
