Set off on an early-morning adventure to the iconic Kjerag boulder, guided by local experts in the heart of Norway's stunning Lysefjord region. Experience the breathtaking landscapes, learn about the area’s rich cultural history, and enjoy the tranquility of the morning light

Begin your day with an exhilarating early-morning journey to the renowned Kjerag boulder, a true natural gem in the Lysefjord. Your adventure starts at dawn, as a professional guide picks you up for a scenic 3-hour drive through some of Norway's most picturesque landscapes.

Arriving at the Eagle’s Nest trailhead, embark on a challenging 2.5-hour hike along a path carved by Nepalese Sherpas. The trail takes you through steep climbs, serene valleys, and captivating flatlands, ultimately leading to the awe-inspiring Kjerag boulder. Your guide, deeply knowledgeable about the Ryfylke region’s natural and cultural history, enriches the hike with engaging stories, turning the journey into a memorable exploration.

Upon reaching the mountain plateau, enjoy the breathtaking view of the 42-kilometer-long Lysefjord from a 1000-meter-high cliff. Here, you can savor a packed lunch and, for the brave, stand atop the famous Kjerag boulder. The return hike offers an equally thrilling experience, with the possibility of spotting base-jumpers leaping off the cliffs, adding to the adventure.

  • Hike to the Kjerag boulder in the peaceful early morning, avoiding the crowds and enjoying the unspoiled beauty of Lysefjord.
  • Benefit from the rich knowledge and passion of your local guide, who will turn every step into a story and every view into a memory.
