Guided hike to Pulpit Rock Preikestolen

1.Guided hike to Pulpit Rock Preikestolen

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 390 reviews · 9 hours (approx.) · from $149Our pick

Start with a 7:00 am pickup in Stavanger, cross the fjord, and hike with a guide to Preikestolen above Lysefjorden. Small groups, local stories, photo help, and an early start make the day easier, though steep rock sections, wind, ice, and a long descent demand real fitness.

“Where do I start, the trip was breathtaking. The tour picks you up right before the call time as advertised. You won’t hear anything the day before until pickup so be ready. I went with a group of 3 people and it was so much fun. The tour guide led us through a different less crowded route, definitely a bucket list item. The hike was not difficult at all, I was nervous as I’m not in the best shape but it goes up and down so you get good breaks.”

The view on top was on-and-off foggy, but we expected that, and the winter views of the jagged mountains with mist around them were spectacular. Alan created some special photo opportunities for us that my friends at home are already taking about. I picked a company for my son and I that was not the least expensive, and it was totally worth it. Another member of our group had a different company cancel the…”

The views along the trail were absolutely breathtaking, and the best part was that we had the entire trail to ourselves—unlike the crowded usual route. Starting the adventure with a canoe ride was such a unique and peaceful way to kick things off. Overall, this hike was one of the highlights of our trip, and I…”
