Suddenly, you are in the mountains. It is a very long hike to Langavatn. Start early and be prepared for a lot of elevation gain! The trail leads through very varied terrain.

Standing on the boulder provides a real adrenaline kick, but nature along the trail is so spectacular, that the rock information itself is only one of the highlights. From Langavatn, the trip first goes over bare rock, before you reach the edge of the mountain plateau, overlooking the fjord, providing both horizontal and vertical vistas. Having finished this stage, you have come all the way to the end of the fjord \u2013 the cozy town of Lysebotn is surrounded by mighty mountain walls.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n BOOKING \/ MORE INFO<\/span> [\/dipi_timeline_item][\/dipi_timeline][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” module_alignment=”center” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ use_custom_gutter=”on” gutter_width=”3″ _builder_version=”4.18.0″ module_alignment=”center” custom_margin=”||35px” custom_margin_tablet=”||25px” custom_margin_phone=”” custom_margin_last_edited=”on|tablet” custom_padding=”32px||0||false|false” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.18.0″ header_font=”||||||||” header_5_font=”||||||||” header_5_font_size=”32px” header_5_letter_spacing=”0.05em” custom_margin=”||10px” header_5_font_size_tablet=”28px” header_5_font_size_phone=”24px” header_5_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_divider color=”#66c903″ divider_weight=”2px” _builder_version=”4.18.0″ max_width=”200px” max_width_tablet=”100px” max_width_phone=”” max_width_last_edited=”on|phone” module_alignment=”left” animation_direction=”bottom” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_divider][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.18.0″ text_font=”|300|||||||” text_letter_spacing=”1px” text_line_height=”1.5em” custom_margin=”||35px” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n In general, we recommend staying an extra night in Forsand, before you start your multi-day adventure.\u00a0<\/span>Gj\u00f8ysa Gard<\/a><\/strong>,\u00a0<\/span>Lysefjorden Marina<\/a>,\u00a0<\/span>Haukali 333<\/a>,\u00a0<\/span>Lysefjorden Hyttegrend<\/a>,\u00a0<\/strong>and\u00a0<\/span>The Bolder<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>offer accommodation.<\/p>\n We highly recommend staying a night in Lysebotn, so you do not have to hurry on your last day of hiking, and can take some well-deserved rest in beautiful Lysebotn. Lysefjorden Lodge<\/a><\/strong>, Hauane Bed & Breakfast<\/a><\/strong>, and Kjerag Lysebotn Camping<\/a><\/strong> offer accommodation.<\/p>\n Although this itinerary is a shortened version of the longer Lysefjorden Rundt Trail, it is still a demanding hike. It can be smart to have an extra resting day mid-way, for example at Bakken Gard<\/a><\/strong>, Songesand Camp<\/a><\/strong> or in Fl\u00f8rli<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n There are multiple options to extend your hike along the Lysefjord with extra stages\/days of hiking.

This way, you will have the best views. Also, you will hike the steepest hills up<\/span> (including the Fl\u00f8rli staircase), while you will hike the long, slack hills\u00a0down<\/span>.<\/p>\n We recommend parking your car in Forsand, and arranging a taxi<\/a><\/strong> to the start of the trail at The Bolder Skylodges.<\/p>\n The hike from Preikestolen to Songesand is very long. It can be smart to hike to Bratteli and take the ferry<\/a><\/strong> to Fl\u00f8rli. However, you will need to start the hike early to catch the ferry (don’t forget to book it). Alternatively, you can continue to Bakken Gard and spend the night there. If you want to continue to Songesand, please note that the stretch between Bakken and Songesand goes through a challenging scree field.<\/p>\n The last stretch from Langavatn towards Lysebotn ends at Kjerag Parking. From here, you can take the shuttle bus<\/a><\/strong> down to Lysebotn.<\/p>\n
