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.

  • Must do for the soul

    Published degree of difficulty is WRONG. Should be Moderate-Medium. Many folks on this hike (not in our group) should not be on it. I, along with another person on our hike rendered help to a lady ascending. Felt terrible for her but also affected our psyche.

  • Spectacular views.

    We had a great tour guide who was very respectful of our level of climbing. A couple of our group did not make it but half way but everyone had a great time.

  • Excellent experience!

    This hike is probably more on the moderate side - but Else was very patient and prepared. She also was extremely knowledgeable about Norway’s history and wildlife which was fascinating to learn about. The view from the top is incredible and absolutely worth the trip. Would highly recommend. Thank you Else!

  • The views are great, but...

    The views are great, but this hike is closer to strenuous than moderate. Very busy on the day that we did it (Saturday).

  • Best hike ever!
