About this experience

Embark on an unforgettable and safe journey with a guided tour to Kjeragbolten, one of Norway's most captivating attractions!

We will drive through wild nature with scenic views as we close in on the starting point of the hike. Halfway, we do a 15 minutes stop to get some fresh air and possibly some delicious locally made food and drinks on a cafe inspired by a typical Norwegian style.

After about 3 hours driving we reach the basecamp, where we get ready to start our adventure! There is possible to both use the restroom as well as filling your water bottle here.

We use about 2,5-3 hours each way. While you may think the boulder itself is the biggest highlight, we think you will love the trail itself as much! If conditions allows it, we will take you to a secret spot to view the whole Lysefjord from a spot 1000 meter above the fjord!

Join us for an unforgettable and secure adventure into the heart of Norway's mesmerizing landscapes – we look forward to exploring with you!
