We started our hike at 5 AM in the dark using headlights.
To avoid the crowds later during the day. on our way, we saw several tents where people were sleeping on the mountain. We walked quite fast up without stopping. Total hiking time to the top: One hour and 40 minutes for us.

The mountain plateau of about 25 x 25 meters was most probably shaped by the expansion of ice some 10 000 years ago. Water that froze in the crevices in the mountain broke loose large edged blocks of stone that the ice glacier brought along on its course.

The hike starts from the parking (parking fee 200 NOK) by the Preikestolen hytta.. The hike consists of slightly hilly terrain with a difference of altitude of 350 meters. The prime attraction on the hike you obtain on top of the plateau with a amazing view of the outstanding Lysefjord. Additionally, there are nice spots to take a dip as well as enjoyable resting areas along the path. It is important that you check the weather conditions at all times. If there is snow in the mountains, it is not recommended to do the hike, or you should use a nature guide. Remember good footwear, preferably mountain shoes, warm clothing, food and drinks. Should the weather indicate difficult conditions, please use walking sticks/ski poles on the hike. A general good physical fitness is necessary. To avoid the loss of daylight on your return hike, you must not embark on this hike too late in the day. Get informed on the time for sunset as well as other weather conditions.
