Our guide Erland and his dog made the 2 hour hike worth it, even though the Lysefjord was covered with fog by the time we got up to the top. If I could do this again with more hiking experience I would definitely come back and hopefully then the view isn't covered by fog”

The hike itself was a good workout and provided some stunning views. Once at the top, the scenery is breathtaking and the lodging of the Kjeragbolten is quite remarkable. This was by far my favorite tour and hike while in Stavanger. I highly recommend it if you're in the area!”

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 46 reviews · from $273

Review of Stavanger’s Preikestolen hidden trail hike, including canoeing, lunch, local guides, mountain views, difficulty, and value.

“I would highly recommend the hidden trail hike, it surpassed all my expectations. A very different experience to the main trail and well worth it as long as you can manage some uphill hiking and a few bits of climbing. It was tiring but plenty of rests and incredible views made it very worthwhile. Alan was an excellent guide sharing so many interesting facts about the trail and the mountain's wildlife.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 23 reviews · 9 hours (approx.) · from $149

Hike snowy Preikestolen from Stavanger with a small group guide, hotel pickup, crampons, and sweeping Lysefjord views for $149.35.

“A great trip up Preikestolen. The guide, Helga was excellent, very knowledgeable and friendly. We were provided with crampons which worked really well as some parts of the trail were quite icy and full of snow. It got easier once you past the first part of the trail, so keep going! The top was very quiet and we were lucky to have a clear and beautiful sunny day. Thank you for a wonderful experience.”
