Description

Nestled among the fjords of southern Norway, Preikestolen cliff is home to one of the most popular hiking routes in the entire country! Also known as Pulpit Rock, the hike is also one of the most scenic in Norway and offers spectacular views over the rolling hills and fantastic fjords. On this 1-day privately guided tour, you will enjoy the full attention of your guide as you discover this amazing location.

To begin the tour, you will be picked up by the guide at the meeting point you agree on in Stavanger. From there, you will drive around 2 hours to the trailhead, where your guide will give you a short trip briefing, and some guiding tips. The way up will take around 2.5 hours, and during this time, you might also have the chance for some small detours to some lovely secret spots. Additionally, you will have time to rest, take pictures, and enjoy some snacks on the way. Once at the top of the gorgeous Preikestolen, you will be rewarded by awe-inspiring views of the fjords below. Then, once you have caught your breath, it will be a 2-hour hike back down to the parking lot before driving back to Stavanger.

The best time for this trek is in the late spring and early autumn, as the trail is usually quite full in the summer. But regardless of when you come, it’s sure to be an excellent trip! You will need to be physically fit and have some prior hiking experience to join.

I was looking for a local guide for a hike I was planning and came across Explore-Share. They seemed to have good reviews and so decided to give them a try. The experience was very positive and completely happy with their service. I will be using them again for next trip.

Thank you explore-share for a wonderful via feratta experience. We have been wanting to learn for a long time but don't have the facilities in Scotland. The guide Mitja was extremely helpful and knowledgeable, answering all my many questions and providing advice. On the day head to take another group but he quickly arranged another guide Borut, who was brilliant. We had a fantastic morning learning via ferrata at Hvadnik in the gorge. It gave us the confidence to later hire our own equipment and go out in Mojstrana. Altogether a five star + experience. Thank you.

Hello! I have been thoroughly impressed by the service and assistance that explore-share have provided the past couple years in helping to plan my trip to the High Tatras in Poland. I really appreciated the flexibility that they provided in allowing me to rearrange my trip twice owing to covid. They were responsive and communicative throughout. This trip was part of my Stag weekend celebrations and explore-share connected me with an outstanding guide in the form of Marcel - he was an excellent recommendation and we really enjoyed our guided hike in the High Tatras with him. Marcel was an outstanding professional, placed a high focus on preparing well and staying safe, and was also a great guy! Highly recommend. Many thanks and best wishes - Richard
