Itinerary
The Ryfylke Tunnel: A World-Record Start Your adventure begins before you even lace up your boots. We’ll dive deep into the Ryfylke Tunnel, the world’s longest and deepest subsea road tunnel. Spanning 14.4 kilometers and reaching a depth of 292 meters below sea level, it is a true marvel of Norwegian engineering. As we drive through the heart of the mountain beneath the fjord, look out for the iconic blue-light sections, designed to mimic the arctic glow and keep drivers alert—making it an attraction in its own right!
The Hike: Nature at Its Best Experience Norway’s wild beauty on an 8 km round-trip trek. Your guide leads you over diverse terrain and impressive granite stairs built by Sherpas. The path offers a perfect mix of fresh mountain air and stunning coastal scenery as you ascend toward the summit. The Highlight: Preikestolen After about 2 hours, the forest opens to reveal the massive plateau. Standing 604 meters (1,982 feet) above the Lysefjord, you’ll have plenty of time to: Capture the Edge: Take iconic photos from the world-famous cliffside. Lunch with a View: Enjoy your meal overlooking the breathtaking fjord. Local Stories: Learn about the geology and history from your expert guide.

Jørpeland: The Gateway to the Fjords As we drive toward the mountains, we pass through the charming "Pulpit Rock City" of Jørpeland. Nestled between the lush green hills and the shimmering fjord, this vibrant coastal town serves as the final gateway before we enter the wilderness. What you’ll experience here: Local Charm: See how modern Norwegian life blends with traditional coastal culture in this bustling regional hub. Stunning Landscapes: Enjoy the panoramic views of the surrounding islands and the fjord entrance as we cruise through the town. The Steel City History: Learn about Jørpeland’s unique heritage as an industrial pioneer, famous for its steel production, which shaped the community you see today. Jørpeland provides the perfect transition from the urban energy of Stavanger to the serene, rugged beauty of the Lysefjord area. It's a picturesque moment to enjoy the scenery from the comfort of your seat before we begin our ascent to the trailhead.

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.
