  Tore was the best! We are conversationalists and we loved swapping stories with him along the hike. He was prompt, the perfect shepherd and very kind! 💯 recommend … plus the hike is spectacular!

  This is a moderate to strenuous hike—don’t underestimate it. 3 steep ascents, 2 of which are stone stairs. That said, someone under 60 in reasonable shape can do it in about 1.5 hours going up. (If you’re super fit, an hour and 10 minutes is good). The reward, depending on weather, is a spectacular view. The guide, Tore, is very experienced and did a good job shepherding the group.

  Tour operator was on time, very nice van. But be warned: this is a HIKE. You will be climbing steep rock with uneven surfaces and wading through running water in several places. It is a very strenuous hike and you will see people along the way who sustained injuries (we saw two, one with a broken wrist). Also, if it’s cloudy there is a good chance that after hiking 90 minutes to reach the lookout you won’t see a thing (everyone today). Even though it is June, the temp was 13C so dress warm, wear rain gear, and good hiking shoes. Cannot stress this enough!

• Majestic Hike to Preikestolen (Pulpit Rock) – Absolutely Worth It!

  Majestic Hike to Preikestolen (Pulpit Rock) – Absolutely Worth It! We had an incredible time on the “Majestic Hike Experience to Preikestolen (also known as Pulpit Rock)” with our guide, Lysekammen. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about the local area, sharing fascinating details throughout the hike—including how the stone steps were built by Sherpas! The hike itself is moderately challenging—about 5 miles round-trip with over 1,000 feet of elevation gain, mostly on rugged, man-made stone stairs. We’re in good shape and it took us around 3 hours, including short breaks and photo stops. The weather was classic Norway: 50°F, windy, with light rain on and off. With a waterproof jacket we stayed comfortable, but I highly recommend proper hiking shoes with good tread, as the rocks can get very slippery. The drive to the trailhead is about an hour each way in a clean, comfortable van that fits around 10 people. A cool bonus was passing through the world’s longest undersea tunnel, completed in 2019—something you don’t see every day! If you’re coming from a cruise, plan for at least a 6-hour window to be safe—more if you prefer a slower pace. Timing is tight if your ship is only in port for a few hours. Overall, this was a memorable experience with beautiful views, great company, and a very well-run tour. Highly recommended—as long as you’re in decent hiking shape and ready for a bit of adventure!
