What To Expect

The day starts with being picked up by our guide from one of several designated locations in Stavanger. The general pick-up time is 7AM, but check our pick-up time table for exact times. After a 45-minute drive, we arrive at Preikestolen Basecamp. We pick up our packet lunch, canoe equipment, and walk down to the beach of the lake, Refsvatnet. Here the guide will provide instructions about safe canoeing, information about the trail, and expected conditions. When everyone is ready, the adventure begins. We paddle across the lake, make our way onto shore, and hike along an old and forgotten trail. The pace allows for time to adjust clothes and equipment, time to rest and enjoy snacks, and for taking pictures along the way. After approximately 3 hours of hiking, we will arrive at Preikestolen, 604 meters right above the legendary Lysefjorden. The sheer cliff face overlooks the fjord, and the panoramic view before us makes for a fantastic reward after all the work it took to get there. After we have enjoyed the scenery and relaxed for a while, we head back down. It normally takes about 2.5 hours to get back down to the parking area. Exhausted but satisfied, we get back in the car.

    Our canoe and hike up the hidden trail was spectacular. We did not see a soul until the top . So glad we did not do the main trail. The views were amazing and Stephan was a great fun guide.

    Allen and Chris are really good tour guides. They have done this hike multiple times and are one of the fittest people I have ever met. I was just stumped after I heard Chris's fitness stories. They make sure all tour people feel ok, if anyone is hurting and make adjustments on the go. Most importantly, they are also nice people. Thanks guys!

  • Safe but challenging experience that was well worth it!

    Unfortunately, on the day I went there was some off and on rain during the hike. But, in the end it was well worth it. This hike takes you above Preikestolen and has some great views of the fjord along the way. You really need to read the description of the hike and take it seriously. This is not for any unexperienced hiker and also not for someone who may be afraid of heights. If you are looking for a safe but challenging experience that takes you directly through nature, without any other hikers on the trail, but ends at one of the most popular tourist destinations in the world then this is the one for you. Our guide Alan and his dog Baba were great! Alan was very kind and encouraged us throughout the hike while Baba provided emotional support and sometimes led the way.
