We went there in September, a few showers on the way, but this is the West Coast so that is not unexpected. Took us 1hour 45 mins from the car park; we are reasonably fit and had our boots on, we met several people attempting it in inappropriate footwear and suffered accordingly, holding us up in the process. We read... More

We visited Pulpit Rock (or attempted to) on Good Friday. There was still a lot of snow and ice on the ground, which made the walk a lot slower than it would normally. Unfortunately, just after half-way we had to turn back, as thick ice made it too treacherous for us to complete the walk. There is quite a bit... More

Stunning weather for an amazing view made this walk worthwhile even though it took us 6 hrs!! The track was extremely slippery making it hard going - especially for my dad who's 73 (lucky for us a lovely group of Canadians helped us over the really tricky bits)! But we did it and it was one of the highlights of... More

Living in Stavanger, Preikestolen is almost around the corner. I've been up there many many times and enjoy it every single time. If you go by car, then take the first parking (cash accept only in summer time) up the road instead of the main parking by the fjellstue. That will spare you a very steep hike the first 15... More

My girlfriend and I hiked this in May 2012 - it took about 90 minutes one direction and there was no snow. This is a great way to experience Lysefjord - I am sure no one will disagree. One thing to note is that the credit card payment for the parking lot seemed a little wonky, so take that into... More

I am scared of heights but, my word, what a stunning experience. You need to be lucky with the weather but once up on the Preikestolen (priests chair) you will be blown away... well... not literally! About 2000ft above the stunning fjord, will you be brave enough to sit or stand on the edge?! (I was laying down looking over!)... More

This was an amazing experience - one of our many incredible experiences in Norway. We went on a dry, sunny, but cold day in early May. Be sure to take snacks, water and a few layers of clothing, including mitts! My Canadian olympic maple leaf mittens were a popular item in our group!! It was fairly warm at the bottom,... More

I have done this hike over 10 times growing up and recently did it again on a return visit. It is still just a great as ever! I say this is the perfect first hike for anyone because its not too long or steep, compared to some of the other hikes around the country. The view from the top is... More

Preikestolen was the highlight of an amazing holiday in Norway. However, note that it is definitely a dry weather attraction - don't risk it if the weather is very wet. We went late August on a sunny day and had no problems with ferries/buses etc so you can make a decision when you see the morning's weather The views are... More
