The Sherpa Steps A section of the trail restored and built by Nepalese Sherpa craftsmen — the same skills used on Himalayan trekking routes. Your guide explains the conservation story behind why Norway brought Sherpas to Rogaland to protect the mountain path
Ridge viewpoint (before the final approach) The first open ridge view of the Lysefjord appears here — a natural photo stop and a preview of what’s coming. On clear days you can see deep into the fjord from this point

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.
