Follow in the footsteps
of Troll 1 & 2

1. Trondheim

Trondheim takes on a major role in Troll 2, with scenes shot in the compact city centre and around its iconic Nidaros Cathedral.

The dramatic cathedral adds a powerful, mythic atmosphere that fits the film’s universe perfectly.

2. The St. Olav Ways

You can, literally, follow in the footsteps of the trolls!

In Troll 2, the trolls take on the journey of the St. Olav Ways, Norway's most famous pilgrim path, that connects Oslo with the iconic Nidaros Cathedral.

4. Oslo and Maridalen

Oslo plays a major role in the first Troll film, contrasting modern city life with ancient forces reawakened. In Troll 2, the action shifts to just outside the capital to Maridalen – a forested valley with lakes and the preserved ruins of medieval St. Margaret’s Church.

5. Hemsedal

The Troll 2 film opens in Hemsedal, where a real after-ski venue is used to stage the dramatic attack sequence.

Known as one of Norway’s ultimate ski destinations, Hemsedal’s high-alpine setting and lively party scene made it the perfect backdrop for the film’s explosive opening.

6. Jotunheimen, home of the giants

Both Troll and Troll 2 return to Jotunheimen, the real home of the giants. In the first film, the troll storms through Bøverdalen, and the sequel revisits the same dramatic landscapes. Rooted in Norse mythology and crowned by Galdhøpiggen, Norway’s highest peak, this region makes it easy to imagine giants still roaming the mountains.

8. The secret of the Dovrefjell mountains

Can you hear the rumbling in the mountains?

Hiking in Norwegian nature really gives you a sense of peace and solitude … but are you really alone?

The scene in the original film where an explosion in the Norwegian mountains awakens an ancient troll was partly filmed in the Dovrefjell mountains, in Eastern Norway.

The award-winning Snøhetta viewpoint is the perfect spot to look for trolls, as well as musk oxen.

9. Fossils

In the original film, Nora Tidemann is on a dig looking for fossils in Flø in Ulstein, when she is assigned a surprising mission.

We don't know if you can find fossils in Flø in real life, but we do know that this little village in Fjord Norway is an amazing find in its own right!

10. Valdresflye Scenic Route

If you want more beautiful Norwegian nature, head to Valdresflye, where Nora's 'troll nut' father Tobias lives in his small log cabin.

Valdresflye is one of Norway's Scenic Routes, with panoramic views of the mountains and wide expanses – making it hard for any troll to hide.

Stop at Besseggen ridge, one of the most popular hikes in the country.

11. Gudbrandsdalen valley

The troll in the first film rushes southwards, through the culturally rich Gudbrandsdalen valley. Luckily, it doesn't destroy the beautiful churches of Sør-Fron (pictured) and Ringebu stave church.

12. Troll meets troll

In Troll 1, the giant definitely gets a surprise when he arrives at the entrance of Hunderfossen Adventure Park near Lillehammer and comes face-to-face with a troll himself.

The massive statue at Hunderfossen is Norway's most photographed troll. Step into a fairytale world of 150 trolls, where you can even dine with them inside a huge hall. And enjoy lots of fun rides, too!
