Guided hike to Pulpit Rock Preikestolen
Overview

Mobile ticket
This trip will take you on one of Norway’s most popular and spectacular hikes. It is for good reason that this hike has gained its popularity with visitors to Norway and locals alike. Situated only a few hours from Stavanger, Pulpit Rock - or Preikestolen in Norwegian - is a towering cliff-plateau directly suspended over Lysefjorden. To stand (or sit) so close to the edge is probably the moment that hikers look forward to the most, although it is no easy deed. The top offers unobstructed views over the meandering blue fjord that was formed by the glaciers during the last Ice Age, making it a good spot to enjoy a photo session and possibly a light snack.

5.00Brilliant experience. Our guide Kant was extremely knowledgeable and added totally to the experience. Communication with the booking was easy and all went smoothly. The hike itself was made all the better with Kant's knowledge of the local area and in particular the fauna. He made all feel safe and the day was filled with thrilling experiences. Rate extremely highly.
Impermeable!

Hiking to Pulpit Rock on a Rainy Day

5.00We joined this tour since there’s no shuttle bus from Stavanger to Pulpit Rock in October. Our guide picked us up at the Radisson Blu Atlantic Hotel around 7:15 a.m. and drove us to the Preikestolen Parking (P1). He was very friendly, patient and attentive, and we really enjoyed the experience, even though it was a rainy day.
