Take part in a thrilling adventure on this challenging hiking trip to Kjerag Boulder from Stavanger!

This trip departs from Stavanger, a coastal city in Norway, which serves as a gateway to some of the country's most famous natural attractions. On this guided trip from Stavanger, you'll embark on a hike to Kjeragbolten, a massive boulder wedged between two cliffs.

The journey begins with pick-up from your accommodation in Stavanger or Sandnes (please specify your location when booking). The experienced guide will greet you, and you'll embark on a scenic drive through a spectacular glacier valley. You'll stop briefly in a small, local village, before continuing the journey to Lysefjorden. Along the way, you'll wind through sheep-dotted mountain roads and the moon-like terrain of the famous Lyseveien, one of Norway’s most scenic and extreme mountain roads. This route offers an authentic glimpse of Norway's raw, natural beauty.

Upon arrival at the departure point for the hike, you'll go through a safety briefing and instructions. This hike is considered challenging, with significant changes in terrain, steep ascents and descents, and a total elevation of 750 metres (2460 feet). The boulder is located at Kjerag, a 1,084-metre (3,556 ft) high mountain, which towers over Lysefjorden in Rogaland County. Once everyone is prepared, the hiking trip to Kjeragbolten begins! Following the expert guide, you'll trek along the dedicated trail, which features three uphill climbs.

Throughout the hike, you'll pass unique glacier formations, fascinating flora and fauna, and pure mountain streams where you can refill your water bottle. The guide will share insights about the landscape and Norway's rich history and culture. You'll be treated to some of the country's most awe-inspiring views, overlooking the stunning Lysefjorden. Then, you'll reach Kjeragbolten, one of Norway's most famous photo spots! For the daring, stand out on top of the boulder and feel an adrenaline rush like no other. At the end of the 11-km (7-mi) hike, you'll be driven back to your starting point in Stavanger.
