Full description

Your tour will begin as you are picked up at your location specified when booking. Note that drop off location, upon return, will be the same as pickup location. Your estimated pickup time is 5:00AM from your accommodation. Be ready 5 minutes before estimated pick up in front of main entrance. You will begin by heading to the Stavanger Ferry Station or Lauvvik Ferry Station, from where you will take the ferry across the fjord. From the other side is a short drive to Preikestolen Lodge, your starting point for the hike. The hike up will take you between 2-3 hours, with a distance of 4 kilometers each way. Once at Pulpit Rock, you will spend some time enjoying the sunrise and the beautiful nature, with plenty of time to take photos. You will also enjoy your packed lunch, beverages, and some snacks here. The hike back will likely also take 2 to 3 hours, and you can later expect to arrive in Stavanger at around 8:00AM-10:00AM.

Know before you go

  • The trail is well marked and easy to follow, but depending on weather, the rocks may become slippery in some of the more demanding areas (some hiking experience is desirable, but not mandatory)
  • Hikers should be prepared with clothes and shoes accordingly to the weather forecast
  • Hiking boots are strongly encouraged, or approach shoes, at the very least (other suggestions include warm, windproof and waterproof clothing)
  • Bring some water with you to keep hydrated, preferably in a container that you can refill along the trail
  • Lunch will not be provided, but we suggest that you bring your own lunch
  • Each hiker is responsible for carrying their own gear, so a suitable backpack is recommended

The tour was very worthwhile. On a good day, up to 4000 people hike up here. With a sunrise tour you can elegantly avoid the rush hour. The path is good but you always walk on big stones. Sticks can help. The tour description is partly outdated. You take the minibus from Stavanger through the new tunnel to the starting point. The start time was also not entirely clear everywhere. Pick up time in summer was 01:00. Gloves and a hat are highly recommended. Once you are up there waiting for the sun it gets chilly and cold.
