The programme

We will skirt the port of Stavanger by coach. Heart of the Norwegian oil industry, Stavanger is the country's fourth largest city in terms of population and is located at the entrance to the Gandsfjord, sheltered from the North Sea.
We will then continue by coach to the Preikestolen Refuge.
From there, we will walk along a rocky mountain path to admire the stunning views dotted with small lakes. This area, which is home to a substantial population of ptarmigan, is well-known to local hunters and fishermen.
Continuing our walking tour, we will reach the Preikestolen (the "pulpit"rock ), a flat rock that overlooks the Lysefjord from a height of 604 metres above sea level. From here, we can enjoy beautiful views of the surrounding mountains.
After our visit, we will return along the same path to the Preikestolen Refuge, where our coach will be waiting to take us back to Stavanger.

Good to know

The Preikestolen area is not secure. We therefore recommend you move with caution and keep a safe distance from the cliff edge.
The experience takes place on an uneven mountain track that also has steep sections. Accordingly, for your own safety, it is important to wear walking shoes. If you do not have any with you, they can be rented on site.
We recommend you wear a waterproof windbreaker over your clothes.
This outdoor excursion will take place in all weathers, with the exception of snow.
The walk covers a distance of approximately 8 km with a difference in height of approximately 340 metres from start to finish and is only recommended for guests accustomed to walking on rough paths.
