I will have around 4.5 days alone in Norway (early july) and am planning to do an overnight guided Trolltunga hike, any tips for the best/fastest option to do this (public transport), accommodation options and what else I can do with the rest of my time here?
This is a rough plan, will be very grateful for suggestions, thank you!
Day 1: fly into bergen from london, travel to odda and stay the night
Day 2: shuttle bus to trolltunga + hike
Day 3: finish trolltunga hike around 1-2pm, head towards voss and stay the night
Day 4: half day in voss + travel back to bergen
Day 5: morning flight back to london from bergen
Alternatively, it might be easier and cheaper to fly into stavanger and do 2 shorter hikes ([Preikestolen & Kjerag](https://gofjords.com/experiences/norway/stavanger/preikestolen-kjerag-combination.649?startDate=2023-07-04&version=85&adults-0=1&childrenAges-0=)) via gofjords instead of trolltunga

Have you been to Bergen before? If not I would skip that half day in Voss and spend it in Bergen instead
I work in tourism and I am very curious to know how do you travel between Odda and Voss renting a car you will be too tired to drive yourself. Have you got your domestic airfares.
Hiking takes time even if you are well fit to the walk. Like Trolltunga is about 7km up and down. Very difficult terrain and hopefully in July the most expensive and crowded month you have rented your equipment to camping and spend the night. It is forbidden to occupy the few cabins reserved to a case of urgency. There are feel agencies with guides and equipment but it is a bit expensive in July.
Kjerag is about 3-4 hours drive because busses are pretty rare between Preikstone, hiking it can take more than a day.
Please, check the transports as hitchhike in Norway is very difficult task. Good luck!
If you are in the area for the fjords, you can skip Voss, and step off the bus in Granvin instead, and get a room at [Jaunsen Gjestgjevarstad](http://www.jaunsen.no/setval.dfm?LANGUAGE=GB). From Granvin you can take the bus along Hardangerfjorden to Bergen the next day. Check out bus route 925 at skyss.no.
