Preikestolen Hidden Trail Hike + Lunch and Canoe Trip

The day starts with being picked up by our guide from one of several designated locations in Stavanger. The general pick-up time is 7AM, but check our pick-up time table for exact times. After a 45-minute drive, we arrive at Preikestolen Basecamp. We pick up our packet lunch, canoe equipment, and walk down to the beach of the lake, Refsvatnet. Here the guide will provide instructions about safe canoeing, information about the trail, and expected conditions. When everyone is ready, the adventure begins. We paddle across the lake, make our way onto shore, and hike along an old and forgotten trail. The pace allows for time to adjust clothes and equipment, time to rest and enjoy snacks, and for taking pictures along the way. After approximately 3 hours of hiking, we will arrive at Preikestolen, 604 meters right above the legendary Lysefjorden. The sheer cliff face overlooks the fjord, and the panoramic view before us makes for a fantastic reward after all the work it took to get there. After we have enjoyed the scenery and relaxed for a while, we head back down. It normally takes about 2.5 hours to get back down to the parking area. Exhausted but satisfied, we get back in the car.
