Would you like to conquer iconic mountain formations like Trolltunga and The Pulpit Rock? Or do you want to try a less crowded hike with equally impressive views? Few places have such varied scenery in one region as Fjord Norway. Here are some of the region’s best hiking options.
The famous mountains of Preikestolen, the Romsdalseggen ridge, Trolltunga, and Kjerag are just a few of Fjord Norway’s most popular hikes – and they are all big adventures. They might be taxing on your knees and quads, though, unless you are an experienced hiker. But you’ll also find numerous shorter and gentler paths perfect for families with children or anyone who simply prefer to take it easy. There are some great hiking areas along the fjords, in the national parks, and through the green valleys.
And since Fjord Norway stretches over 57,604 square kilometres, you might not want to cover the whole thing in one go. Why not pick an area or two and really explore the many exciting nooks and crannies there – and avoid the crowds at the same time? There are many regions in the western part of Norway, and below are some of the best hikes in each area, from south to north.
Make sure that you find out which hiking routes are suitable for your level in advance. Read our tips for mountain safety and how to prepare for your hiking adventure! For more challenging climbs, we recommended that you join a group trip or book a qualified guide.
Make as small a footprint as possible. Leave it as you would like to find it is the mantra – take only pictures, keep only memories.
A selection of fantastic hikes in Fjord Norway from south to north.
Go to Ryfylke for some of Norway’s most famous hikes. Climb the mountain plateau Preikestolen (The Pulpit Rock) that hangs 604 metres above the Lysefjord, or Kjerag, where the rock Kjeragbolten is wedged in between two mountains. You can also choose between a number of other fantastic hikes in the area, whether you plan to hike from cabin to cabin over several days or do shorter day-trips with the cities Stavanger or Sandnes as your base (see below).

The landscape of Haugesund and Haugalandet is often compared to the settings of tv-series like Game of Thrones and Vikings. Not so strange, since this was the home of the Viking kings for more than a thousand years. Hike the historic mountains, stroll along the sea or visit one of the larger islands and experience the rugged landscape where the ocean meets the sky. A must-do for hikers is Himakånå, a mountain formation that looks like a female troll!
Choose between 200 marked paths in Sunnhordland, from easy family-friendly hikes to 1400-metre summits with amazing views. If you prefer, you can follow the North Sea trail along the open sea. Or maybe you want to hire a guide and go glacier hiking on Folgefonna, one of Norway’s largest glaciers?

Hardanger is, of course, home to the world-famous Trolltunga, but not everybody wants to embark on this long and strenuous hike. Luckily, there are so many other options in this part of Fjord Norway. You can follow Queen Sonja’s panoramic hiking trail, get blown away by the many waterfalls (the spectacular Vøringsfossen included) or stroll through the wonderful blossoming orchards in the region in spring. There, you’ll get to taste some of the world’s best ciders.
