When to Go

You are welcome to the Lysefjord, year-round! To experience the Lysefjord from sea level is beautiful through all seasons, with shifting colors and weather. You can join a Lysefjordcruise all year round.

Peak-season months

Traditionally, June, July and August are the peak-season months, and guests from all over the world travel to our region. These months, days are very long, and the weather is often nice. Especially on sunny weekends, many visitors hike to Preikestolen and Kjerag. On peak days, this may lead to full parking lots, some on-trail crowding, and waiting lines at the most popular picture locations.

Hiking

Throughout the year, weather and trail conditions change a lot. Depending on which season you are visiting Lysefjorden – they are very different! You should adapt your preparations and the equipment you bring accordingly.

You can hike Preikestolen year-round. While the trail to Kjerag En Flørli are available from late May throughout October. Off- season you can only reach Kjerag and Flørli with guide.
