2-day Hiking Trip to Pulpit Rock & Overnight Stay from Stavanger

Stavanger is a diverse coastal city in Norway, which serves as a gateway to the iconic Pulpit Rock (Preikestolen), one of the country's most famous natural attractions. It is a steep cliff rising 604 metres (1,982 feet) above the Lysefjord, with breathtaking views and a rock plateau of 25 by 25 metres (82 by 82 feet).

The hiking trip to Pulpit Rock begins with pick-up from your accommodation in Stavanger early in the morning (please specify your location when booking). You'll meet the experienced guide and embark on a scenic drive to the hike departure point. Upon arrival, you'll go through a quick safety briefing and instructions for the trail. This hike is considered challenging, with steep and rocky sections. Once everyone is prepared, the hike to Preikestolen begins!

You'll venture on a hidden nature trail, passing beautiful flora and fauna. Along the way, the guide will share facts and insights about Norwegian culture, history and nature. At the top of the rock, you'll be treated to the world-famous views of steep fjord cliffs, rugged mountain terrain, and glacially carved valleys. Afterwards, you'll hike back to a nearby village and enjoy an authentic lunch at a traditional restaurant.

Then, the hiking trip from Stavanger continues with a 30-minute drive deeper into the Norwegian mountains. From here, you'll set off on another hike to Vigelsdalen, a scenic valley in Rogaland County. The Vigelsdalen hike follows an old stone path, passing steep granite walls, rushing rivers, and lush meadows. This is a great way to get off the beaten track, away from the tourist spots, and experience true Norwegian natural beauty! The trek leads you to a cabin in the wilderness, where you'll spend the night.

In the evening, you'll connect with the rural lifestyle, taking in the peaceful atmosphere and sharing a simple meal, before sleeping in the comfortable cabin. The following morning, you'll have breakfast and continue exploring the valley. You'll discover fascinating rock formations and mesmerising waterfalls, learning about their history from the expert guide. After your hike through Vigelsdalen, you'll be driven back to the original pick-up point in Stavanger.
