This video is about me and my friend Eunice adventure to Preikestolen last July 2015.

Looking out over the Lysefjord from the Pulpit Rock (also known as Preikestolen) is an experience of a lifetime.

IF YOUĹL ASK ME IF IT IS A RISKY AND TERRIFYING TYPE OF ACTIVITY... For me, NO. I have no fear of heights and has been to other mountains here in Norway which are more challenging. PLEASE CHECK OUT THIS VIDEO AND SEE IT FOR YOURSELF for you to decide if this activity is good for you or not.

The hike to Preikestolen is a total of eight kilometres and the round trip takes four hours. The hike has an elevation gain of about 500 metres, and some sections are steep. As the hike is graded as medium difficult, you should have some experience from trekking in rough terrain before embarking on this trip. Preikestolen can now be visited all year round. The summer season extends from April to October/November. During the winter season and on days with rough weather, it is very important to follow the advice of the Preikestolen staff in the parking lot.

Even if sunshine and fair weather are predicted, the weather conditions can change quickly. Always check the weather forecast before you start your trip, and talk to the locals about what kind of weather to expect. They will often know if there is a risk of rain and windy conditions even if the weather forecast is promising.

Do this:
Research the length, duration, and recommended physical conditioning for the hike you want to do.
Check the weather conditions and always listen to local mountain residents.
Buy or rent the right equipment for your trip.
Always bring enough food, drinks, and an extra change of clothes in your backpack.
Check out the possibility of joining a guided tour.
Avoid this:
Don’t wear jeans, trainers, or other everyday clothing.
Don’t start your trip too late in the day, as you might risk having to hike in the dark.
Never start your mountain hike without being in good enough physical shape.
Don’t depend on a map on your mobile device as there is not always coverage in the mountains.
Don’t leave anything, including trash, behind.
