Preikestolen Sunrise Hike And Breakfast Buffet

Mobile ticket
By joining our guided sunrise hike, you don’t have to worry about logistics or timing. We highly recommend this tour if you want to avoid the thousands of people that will be on the trail during the high-season (June, July, August). Hike in the peace and quiet of dawn instead!
Being at the top as twilight turns to dawn can be magical. But, even on cloudy days, the lack of crowds makes it totally worth going so early.

What To Expect
The adventure starts with being picked up very early in the morning by our guide from one of several designated locations in Stavanger. Pick-up times varies, so please check out pick-up time table. Also, book on the morning you wish to see the sunrise, not the night before. After a 45-minute drive, we arrive at the start of the trail (where restrooms are available). When everyone is ready, and the headlamps are on, the hike begins. The landscape is dark and quiet. The towering trees in the forest make the imagination run wild! The pace allows for time to adjust clothes and equipment, time to rest and enjoy snacks. After ca. 2.5 hours of hiking, we will arrive at Preikestolen, 604 meters above the legendary Lysefjorden. The sheer cliff overlooks the fjord makes for a fantastic reward after all the work it took to get there. If we are lucky, the sun will show itself as it climbs over the mountain ridges. After we have enjoyed the scenery and relaxed for a while, we head back down. It normally takes about 2 hours to get back down to Base-camp. In the comfort of the mountain lodge, we will enjoy a simple, but fresh and tasty breakfast. Exhausted but satisfied, we get back in the car.

An Unforgettable Sunrise Hike & Exceptional Service

5.00I had the most incredible sunrise hike with my guide, Stephan. This experience was made even more special by the company's outstanding commitment to their customers. My hike to Kjerag with a different company was cancelled the day before, with the reason given as "bad weather" (which it wasn't). I suspect it's because I was the only person booked. I was so grateful and impressed when this tour went ahead with just me! It truly shows they value every single customer. The hike itself was magical. We started early for the sunrise, which meant we had the trail and the stunning views all to ourselves—perfect for photos! Stephan was a fantastic guide; we kept a brisk pace which I really enjoyed, and he took so many wonderful photos of me throughout the trip. It was a bit windy at the top, but it only added to the incredible atmosphere. To top it all off, we stopped at a lovely local bakery on the way back for a delicious breakfast. It was the perfect end to a perfect morning. Thank you, Stephan, for such a memorable and personal experience! I cannot recommend this tour enough.

5.00This experience was nothing short of amazing. I feel especially grateful to my guide, Stephan—an ex-military professional whose presence and personality left a deep impression on me. It was an honor to hike alongside him; he wasn’t just a guide, but an inspiration. What stood out even more was the commitment to customer satisfaction. Despite being the only participant, the hike went ahead without cancellation. Stephan was right on time, waiting at the entrance, and ready to make the day memorable. Nature itself added to the magic—the morning was clear, the sun painted the sky with stunning colors before rising, and the whole atmosphere felt truly divine. Overall, this wasn’t just a hike—it was an experience I will cherish. I recommend this hike a thousand times.
