Join a guided hike to Kjerag, the pride of the Lysefjord in Ryfylke, towering above all the other peaks at 1084 metres. Enjoy transport from Stavanger and experience the serenity of hiking in a small group while enjoying panoramic views of some of the most dramatic scenery Norway has to offer.
Begin your journey early in the morning with a pickup from your preferred meeting place. While being transported to the trailhead, catch glimpses of some of Norway’s stunning landscapes. After driving for about 3 hours, arrive at the Eagle’s Nest trailhead.
Be well on your way up to the Kjerag Boulder before the crowds of tourists begin to arrive. Get ready for a challenging but rewarding climb. With a relatively flat last 2 kilometres, focus more on the beautiful nature around you.
Witness Norway’s bright green wilderness as it awakens after the long, cold winter. Or see the fall colours and breathe the crisp air after summer has passed. If you're hiking in spring, expect a snowy landscape and get hiking poles and crampons. The hike takes you through various terrain, some of which can be a bit technical to traverse. If you have no experience hiking in mountains, this might not be the hike for you.
Once you reach the edge of the massif, while standing on a 1000-meter-high cliff, soak in panoramic views of the 42-kilometer-long Lysefjord. Then, have time to relax while eating lunch near the Kjerag Boulder.
If you dare (and conditions allow), you can stand atop the Kjerag boulder, hanging at a heart-stopping 984 metres above the fjord. After the lunch break, follow your guide back down to the Eagle’s Nest.
