TRAIL CONDITIONS

The trail is well marked and easy to follow, but depending on weather, the rocks may become slippery in some of the more demanding areas. Some hiking experience is desirable, but not mandatory.

‍

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.

Last but not least, each hiker is responsible for carrying his/her own gear, so a suitable backpack is recommended.

PROPOSED STANDARD SCHEDULE FOR PULPIT ROCK

We pick you up at your location you chose when booking. Note that drop-off location, upon return, will be the same as pickup location.

Estimated pickup would be 01:00AM from your accommodation. Be ready 5 minutes before estimated pick up in front of main entrance.

‍

After the pickup our tour starts with a 40 min. car ride to the trailhead at the Preikestolen parking. On the way there we are driving through the world's longest and deepest undersea tunnel for cars allowing us to quickly overcome the water area between Stavanger and the hiking trail. Parts of the drive will be along one of the fjords close to Stavanger and the Norwegian countryside. The hike up will take us approximately 2 hours. Once at Pulpit Rock we will spend some time enjoying the sunrise, the beautiful nature and most likely taking photos. We will also enjoy our packed lunch, beverages and some snacks here. The hike back will likely also take 2 to 3 hours, and expect to arrive in Stavanger around 08:00-10:00 AM.
