Highlights

This trip will take you on one of Norway’s most popular and spectacular hikes. It is for good reason that this hike has gained its popularity with visitors to Norway and locals alike. Situated only a few hours from Stavanger, Pulpit Rock - or Preikestolen in Norwegian - is a towering cliff-plateau directly suspended over Lysefjorden. To stand (or sit) so close to the edge is probably the moment that hikers look forward to the most, although it is no easy deed. The top offers unobstructed views over the meandering blue fjord that was formed by the glaciers during the last Ice Age, making it a good spot to enjoy a photo session and possibly a light snack.

  • 5Best Way to Spent a Morning in Stavanger

    My Hike with Lysefjorden Adventure was excellent. As a solo traveler, I greatly appreciated that we were able to beat the large crowds and experience the Preikestolen in relative tranquility. On the way down, our guide took us on a side trail for part of the way allowing us to experience a more traditional Norwegian hike. Paying the extra to have a guide was 100% worth and I am grateful the experience!

    Beautiful scenery. Very good experience from very punctual Pickup by Else our lovely guide to a nice walk with taylored support so we all could finish. The views while getting up are wonderful, we got given comprehensive information about the hike, the steep ascends so we felt prepared , how to minimise energy and chose the steps, how to walk down safely and not slip , Else took photos while on the rock from distance as we got extraordinary pictures . We felt safe and well looked after and it made a big difference in the entire experience Thank you so much

  • 5Great trip with the stunning view at Pulpit Rock

    Had an amazing trip to Preikestolen, escorted by our friendly guide. Extremely hot day so would recommend going early if walking it in the summer. Kent our guide was great at allowing us to walk at our own pace. We weren’t hurried at all. The view from the top was well worth it the hike up the rocks. Would highly recommend this tour.

  • 1Do not book with this tour company

    The opportunity to hike Pulpit Rock was amazing but was easily doable without a guide as you can take a bus from Stavanger for $33 USD ea way (which we would have done if I had known this first). While we had a friendly guide, we experienced transportation issues on the drive to Pulpit Rock and the car got stranded in the parking lot and would not go into gear. We had to push the vehicle into a parking spot and take the bus back to Stavanger. Of course things happen but it was the way it was handled. I don’t recommend this tour company.

  • 5The tour guide showed up...

    The tour guide showed up in front of our hotel right at time. She’s very chill and detail oriented. She would introduce some history of Norway during the hike. Also introduce us some local plants. We learned a lot and had a bunch of cool picture on the top. Best view ever at Norway. The hike is very manageable even if you’re not physically strong.

About Stavanger

Stavanger is a harbour city in south-west Norway, with a wooden old town, a medieval cathedral, its oil history and the fjords of Rogaland beyond.

Stavanger stands on a peninsula in Rogaland, south-west Norway, with a harbour lined with warehouses, cafés and wooden buildings. Gamle Stavanger, the old town, has rows of white wooden houses on cobbled lanes, and the cathedral, begun in the 12th century, is among the oldest in Norway. Oil discoveries in the North Sea from the 1960s made Stavanger the country's oil capital, a story told in the Norwegian Petroleum Museum on the waterfront.
