📍 Location: Above Aurlandsvangen

The Mt. Prest hike offers some of the most breathtaking views over the Aurlandsfjord. Starting just above Aurlandsvangen, this moderately challenging trail leads steadily uphill to a panoramic summit view that’s absolutely worth the climb.

🏕️ Want to make it even more memorable? Thanks to Norway’s Right to Roam (Allemannsretten), you can legally pitch your tent near the summit (off-trail) and enjoy a peaceful night in the wild under the stars.
