What to expect

The day starts with being picked up by our guide from one of several designated locations in Stavanger. The general pick-up time is 5AM, but please check our pick-up time table for exact times. The drive takes 2h and 30 minutes, passing by scenic landscape along the way. There are restrooms at the parking area. Here the guide will provide information about the trail, and expected conditions. When everyone is ready, the hike begins. 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 Kjeragbolten, the Kjerag Boulder. For those who dare (if conditions allow), one can stand atop the Boulder, which hangs a heart-stopping 984 meters above the fjord. Note that during the pre-season (May), there may be so much snow that standing on the Boulder itself is not safe. After we have enjoyed the scenery, relaxed, and enjoyed a quick lunch, we head back down. It normally takes about 3 hours to get back down to the parking area. Exhausted but satisfied, we get back in the car. This hike is arduous, and recommended for people with hiking experience in rough terrain.
