Guided winter hike to Pulpit Rock

A guided hike to Preikestolen during the winter allows you to experience Norway's most popular hike without the hordes of people you may encounter during the summer season. The scenic view from the top and the winter wonderland in the Lysefjord are well worth the sweat!

You will be picked up from your accommodation at 7:00-7:15 AM. Make sure to be ready 5 minutes before in front of your hotel. The car ride to the trailhead takes approximately 40 minutes. During this trip, you will drive through the world's longest and deepest undersea tunnel for cars, and drive along the fjords and countryside.

From the trailhead, it takes 2-3 hours to reach Pulpit Rock. Here you will have the time to enjoy a lunch with a view and to take in the stunning scenery. Do not forget your camera!

The hike back to the trailhead also takes 2-3 hours. From here, you will be brought back to Stavanger. Expected arrival at your accommodation is around 03:00-04:00 PM.

Depending on weather, snow and ice conditions, the trail may become slippery in some of the more demanding areas. Snowshoes or spikes are provided if the conditions require so. Some hiking experience is desirable, but not mandatory.

Prepare by packing warm clothes and shoes. Hiking boots are required and can be rented if necessary.

Food and beverages are not included. Bring your own water, preferably in a container that can be refilled, and lunch/snacks to keep your energy levels up.
