Gear and snacks
Hikers should be prepared with clothes and shoes accordingly to weather forecast. Hiking boots are strongly encouraged, or approach shoes, at the very least. Other suggestions include warm, windproof and waterproof clothing.
Bring some water with you to keep hydrated, preferably in a container we can refill on the trail. Norwegian mountains are full of crystal clear, clean and very tasty water sources. Lunch will not be provided, but we suggest that you bring your own lunch and snack.
Last but not least, each hiker is responsible for carrying his/her own gear, so a suitable backpack is recommended.
We have the possibility to accommodate groups larger than 8 hikers. Please contact us for further details.
Schedule
Pick-up at 7.15AM. We then head to the Stavanger ferry station or Lauvvik ferry station, and take the ferry across the fjord. From the other side is a short drive to Preikestolen Lodge, trailhead for the hike.
The hike up will take us between 2 and 3 hours. Once at Pulpit Rock we'll spend some time enjoying the view, the beautiful nature and taking photos. We'll also enjoy our packed lunch, beverages and some snacks . The hike back will likely take 2 to 3 hours, and so you can expect to arrive back in Stavanger around 3:00-4:00 PM.
