This guided 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.We also offer the backcountry option, which is somewhat more demanding, but less crowded.

TOUR DETAILS
Proposed Standard Schedule for Pulpit Rock Sunrise
Your adventure begins with a convenient pickup directly from your chosen location (the drop-off point will be the same upon return). Please be ready outside your main entrance 5 minutes before your estimated pickup time, which is typically between 1.00 AM
After pickup, we'll start our tour with a 40-minute ride to the Preikestolen trailhead parking.

You'll also enjoy scenic drives alongside one of Stavanger's beautiful fjords and through the charming Norwegian countryside.
The hike up will take us approximately 2 hours. Once at Pulpit Rock we will spend some time enjoying the sunrise, the beautiful nature and most likely taking photos. We will also enjoy our packed breakfast, beverages and some snacks here. The hike back will likely also take 2 to 3 hour
