Hidden viewpoints, quiet mountain landscapes and a relaxed pace combine to create one of the most unique and scenic adventures in the Stavanger region. Together with your guide, you'll discover places that most visitors never see while enjoying plenty of time to take in the surroundings.
What you can experience
Your adventure begins with pickup in Stavanger before driving to the trailhead. After a short introduction, the hike follows an alternative route through forests, rocky terrain and open mountain landscapes with breathtaking views of Lysefjord.
Unlike the busy main trail, the Back Track offers solitude, dramatic scenery and several viewpoints above Pulpit Rock itself. Along the way, there is plenty of time for breaks, photography and learning about the nature and history of the area.
Eventually, you reach Pulpit Rock (Preikestolen), where you can enjoy one of Norway's most famous views before continuing through beautiful mountain terrain on the return journey.
For guests looking for something truly special, an optional canoe crossing on a peaceful mountain lake can be arranged for an additional cost, weather and conditions permitting.
