Description
Nestled among the fjords of southern Norway, Preikestolen cliff is home to one of the most popular hiking routes in the entire country! Also known as Pulpit Rock, the hike is also one of the most scenic in Norway and offers spectacular views over the rolling hills and fantastic fjords. On this 1-day privately guided tour, you will enjoy the full attention of your guide as you discover this amazing location.
To begin the tour, you will be picked up by the guide at the meeting point you agree on in Stavanger. From there, you will drive around 2 hours to the trailhead, where your guide will give you a short trip briefing, and some guiding tips. The way up will take around 2.5 hours, and during this time, you might also have the chance for some small detours to some lovely secret spots. Additionally, you will have time to rest, take pictures, and enjoy some snacks on the way. Once at the top of the gorgeous Preikestolen, you will be rewarded by awe-inspiring views of the fjords below. Then, once you have caught your breath, it will be a 2-hour hike back down to the parking lot before driving back to Stavanger.
The best time for this trek is in the late spring and early autumn, as the trail is usually quite full in the summer. But regardless of when you come, it’s sure to be an excellent trip! You will need to be physically fit and have some prior hiking experience to join.

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
