Preikestolen Sunrise Hike And Breakfast Buffet
Overview
Available languages
9 hours
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.

5.00Hiking with Erlend and Balder was an amazing experience. I was the only one who booked the sunrise hike that day, and I appreciated that the company didn’t cancel it because of that. Their customer service and communication before the trip were excellent. The nature along the trail was beautiful, and Erlend knew exactly when to stop for a break so I could catch my breath. Balder was very well behaved and kept a good company. Taking photos with him and of him was so much fun! Once we reached the peak, the views were breathtaking. There were very few people around this early in the day, so there was plenty of time to take photos. Hiking with Erlend felt like hiking with a good friend, our conversations were interesting and fun. Thanks to him, I learned a lot about Norwegians and their culture. This hike was my favorite experience during my time in Norway, and I cannot recommend it highly enough.
Happy hikers paradise!

5.00Very demanding hike but totally worth it!! Stephan is an amazing tour guide! So knowledgeable and a great story teller. We ended up taking a hidden trail because the rain would have ruined the sunrise hike. Can’t recommend this one enough.
