Preikestolen

A steep cliff with a broad, flat top that overlooks a gorgeous fjord.

Known as the Pulpit Rock in English, Preikestolen is a popular mountain plateau that cradles a four-hour scenic hike. Taking you through etched rock steps in a cliff face, a charming wooden bridge, and refreshing grass-topped or snow-covered rock terrains, Preikestolen is picturesque every step of the way. At the peak, the cliff mountain extends into a plateau that offers spectacular views of mounding hills flanking a deep blue fjord. But if simply enjoying the picturesque sights is not good enough for you, then perhaps you might want to engage in some thrilling activities. After all, Preikestolen is a popular spot for BASE jumping using a parachute or wingsuit, with it attracting tons of thrill seekers all the time. Those who are in want of some peace and quiet can embark on a journey through a more secluded trek. Over here, you can soak in the tranquillity of the Norwegian wilderness and usher in the rising sun at the top of Preikestolen after undergoing a guided midnight-sunrise hike with headlamps. Alternatively, you could also hike through the many offbeat paths via a guided tour for hidden stunning views with a touch of solitariness. Preikestolen, with its outstanding sights, is sure to steal your heart.
