If you want an extraordinary experience without worrying about logistics or transport, this is the tour for you. Hiking before dawn lets you enjoy rare peace, far from the crowds that fill the trail in high season.
Your adventure begins early, with pick-up in Stavanger. After a 45-minute drive, we arrive at the trailhead (WC access). After a short briefing and the allocation of practical tips, headlamps, and hiking poles, we ascend through the calm darkness, sometimes lit by the moon. The guide shares local folklore for those interested, adding a touch of mystery to the landscape. The pace includes time for clothing adjustments, breaks, and snacks.
After about 2.5 hours, we reach Preikestolen, 604 metres above the Lysefjord, and take in the dramatic panorama—weather permitting, the sunrise paints the mountains in spectacular light. The descent takes about 2 hours, after which we enjoy a simple, fresh breakfast before returning to Stavanger, reflecting on a truly memorable hike.

5.00Wow! This was an absolutely wonderful, once in a lifetime experience! Our guide, Stephan was a wealth of information about the city, the mountains, the history of the area. He was the absolute best we could have hoped for. This sunrise hike is a must. We arrived at the top with only two other groups there, and for a bit had the entire place to ourselves. I was so happy to miss the crowds, both while hiking and while soaking in the incredible scene. This hike was the thing I was looking forward to most in my trip to Norway, and it did not disappoint. To start out in the dark, see the sun rise at the top of the world, and then have a completely different hike on the way down because it’s now light out- it’s hard to describe. The sunrise hike to Priekestolen should be on everyone’s bucket list! And I cannot say enough about what an amazing guide Stephan is!
