We partner with Rewilding Britain to help protect our natural spaces for future adventures.
All centres are vetted for safety and quality. Your adventure is in good hands with adventuro.
Two Norwegian icons in one long weekend: hike Preikestolen, cruise Lysefjord, sleep at the head of the fjord, then climb Kjerag with your legs still honest about what day one felt like. Meals, ferries, lodging and guiding are arranged so you can treat this like an adventure holiday rather than a spreadsheet of bookings.
Day one starts early with a guided Preikestolen hike while your guide still has energy to coach pacing on the famous steps, then you descend toward the water and board a Lysefjord boat past cliffs and waterfalls that photos never quite capture. By afternoon you are in Lysebotn with dinner, a simple room and the kind of quiet that only exists at the inner end of a fjord.
Day two begins with breakfast and the legendary hairpins of Lysevegen before a full Kjerag hike on tired-but-happy legs, with leadership on exposed sections so you can focus on footing instead of logistics. Ferries, bags and meal times stay with your guide throughout, and the itinerary and accommodation sections below spell out each block from Stavanger pickup to final drop-off.
The trip spans Preikestolen plateau, the length of Lysefjorden by boat, and Kjerag above Lysebotn in the inner fjord. You see the same water from cliff, deck and summit, which makes the geography click in a way single-day trips cannot.
Pickup and final drop-off use Stavanger city centre hotels unless otherwise agreed for multi-day guests travelling with extra luggage.
Minimum age twelve with strong fitness for two long mountain days back to back. Improver level hiking experience helps, especially for exposure near Kjerag on day two.
Pack a 30 to 50 litre pack with layers, waterproofs, and personal items for an overnight stay. Meals on the trip are included as stated on your booking confirmation.
Linking Preikestolen, a fjord crossing and Kjerag yourself means juggling ferry tickets, room keys and tired legs at 6 a.m.; this team has run the sequence often enough to smooth the friction points. You notice that when dinner appears exactly when you need it.
Small groups keep the boat, lodge and trail feeling sociable rather than crowded, and the same guide context across both days means safety briefings build on what you already learned on Preikestolen.
Pickup is arranged from hotels and agreed points in Stavanger city centre. Share your accommodation details when you book so the driver can plan the morning collection route.
Guests arriving by cruise ship can mention pier timings so the team can confirm whether a standard departure fits the ship schedule.
After the first day on the fjord you stay in Lysebotn at the head of Lysefjorden, in simple guest accommodation chosen for hikers rather than luxury seekers. Rooms are practical, bedding is provided, and there is time to dry boots and swap stories before dinner.
Evening meals use local ingredients where possible, and breakfast is served before the second day's Kjerag hike. Your guide explains checkout times, what stays in your day pack, and how the morning minibus up Lysevegen fits together.
Collection and return drop-off in Stavanger city centre are included on this departure when you book through the connected checkout.
Confirm your hotel name and a reachable mobile number after reserving so drivers can find you at the agreed time on the morning of the trip.
Mountain trips may be shortened, rerouted or rescheduled when wind, ice, fog or heavy rain makes exposed sections unsafe for the group.
Your guide monitors conditions on the day and explains the safest option. Waterproof layers and spare warm clothing are essential in fjord terrain even in summer.
Wear broken-in hiking boots with ankle support and soles that grip wet rock and mud. Synthetic or wool layers work better than cotton when you heat up on climbs and cool down on ridges.
Pack a waterproof shell and trousers, gloves and a hat in cooler months, and protect your phone in a dry bag inside your pack.
We recommend insurance that covers outdoor activities and any medical costs abroad, including helicopter rescue where applicable in remote Norwegian terrain.
Check that your policy matches the activities on your booking and keep emergency contact details accessible during the hike.
Departures are capped at a small maximum so the guide can coach technique, manage pace and keep the day personal rather than feeling like a large coach tour.
If you travel solo you may share the vehicle with other guests booked on the same date, but on-trail leadership stays with your qualified guide throughout.
Solo bookings are welcome and you will share transport with other guests on the same departure when seats are available.
On the trail the guide still leads one cohesive group and adjusts pace so nobody is left behind on the uphill or downhill sections.
Tipping is optional in Norway and never required for your guide or driver to deliver a professional day on the mountain.
If you wish to thank the team for exceptional service, a modest cash tip or a positive review after the trip is always appreciated.
Guiding on these hikes is in English so international guests can follow safety briefings and ask questions throughout the day.
If your group needs clarification on local place names or folklore, guides are happy to explain during rest stops on the trail.
One night in Lysebotn guest accommodation with dinner and breakfast on the programme, plus ferry transport on Lysefjorden.
Your guide explains bag limits and what to keep in your day pack for the Kjerag hike.
Kjerag is a challenging full-day hike with exposure near cliffs; you should arrive rested and well fed after the overnight stop.
Guides adjust pace but expect significant elevation gain after the Preikestolen effort on day one.
About the centre
Stavanger
You'll explore the Lysefjord region with local guides who know how to keep groups away from crowded trails while still reaching iconic viewpoints such as Preikestolen and Kjerag. Trips range from sunrise hikes and winter routes with a hot meal to multi-day journeys along the fjord, with small groups so the pace stays comfortable and the day feels personal.
Pickup in Stavanger city centre is arranged for many departures, and your guide handles the planning, safety briefings, and on-trail support from start to finish. Equipment needed for the activity is provided where stated on each trip, so you can focus on the scenery, the stories along the path, and the sense of achievement at the summit or fjord edge.
