Preikestolen is one of Norway’s most visited mountain hikes. This is especially evident in the summertime when it can get truly packed with people. The trip itself is quite nice, 535 meters up, and 2 hours long. At the bottom there is a large parking lot and a café with toilets available. There are no fences or safety barriers at the top so be careful.

I would recommend taking this trip during the off-season and avoiding the crowded summertime. Our first time we started out during early summer at 3 am to get the best light and avoid the crowd, and there was still 30-40 people up there at 5 am! We tried again in the fall at sunrise and got the entire thing all to ourselves.
