- Preikestolen Fjellstue - The adventure starts with being picked up very early in the morning by our guide from one of several designated locations in Stavanger. After a 40-minute drive, we arrive at the start of the trail (where restrooms are available). When everyone is ready, and the headlamps are on, the hike begins. The landscape is dark and quiet. If the moon is up, it casts a ghostly light over us. The towering trees in the forest make the imagination run wild! The pace allows for time to adjust clothes and equipment, time to rest and enjoy snacks.
After ca. 2.5 hours of hiking, we will arrive at Preikestolen, 604 meters right above the legendary Lysefjorden. The sheer cliff overlooks the fjord, and the panoramic view before us makes for a fantastic reward after all the work it took to get there. If we are lucky, the sun will show itself as it climbs over the mountain ridges, and bathe us in warmth, and amazing light.
After we have enjoyed the scenery and relaxed for a while, we head back down. It normally takes about 2 hours to get back down to Base-camp. In the comfort of the mountain lodge, we will enjoy a simple, but fresh and tasty breakfast. Exhausted but satisfied, we get back in the car.

If you partake in our sunrise guided trek, there’s no need to fuss over planning or scheduling. This is especially encouraged if you wish to evade the massive crowds that frequent the trail during peak season (June, July, August). Enjoy the tranquility of early morning hikes instead!
Experiencing the transition from twilight to dawn at the peak is almost enchanting. Even if the day is overcast, the absence of a crowd makes the early rise well worth it.
For a full refund, cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled departure time.
