How to avoid crowds at Preikestolen
The busiest months are June, July, and August. In summer, the busiest time of the day is usually between 8 am and 4 pm. The busiest days of the week are Saturday and Sunday. A sunny day in summer after a few days of rain is likely to be very busy.
From June 15 - August 15, it is recommended to hike in the late afternoon.
On the busiest days, the parking areas fill up and can be temporarily closed in the middle of the day. This is done to ensure safety and a good experience for all hikers. If you are stopped and turned around at the access road, you can spend some time in Jørpeland while waiting for the parking to reopen, normally after 2-3 hours.
Preikestolen can be hiked year-round. The Autumn months of September and October give great foliage. February and March can give you a “winter wonderland” experience. In April and May, the Lysefjord is wrapped in fresh spring colors, with the crowds still far away.
At the end of this amazing video, we're not only going to share our unforgettable experience hiking to Preikestolen, but we're also going to treat you to an exclusive walking tour of the charming Airbnb where we stayed. Trust us, it's the perfect place to kick back and relax after a day of exploring.

As someone that live close preikestolen, it took me 36 years to go on that hike. Did it late may in 2020. Took a pandemic for me to go. And I had the hole thing for myself. I agree, bring a flashlight, also some shoes that is already walked in. chafing on the ankles is the worst when hiking. grocery stores do sell bandage for it. Buy them before going not after. Norwegian mountains is you're own risk. Hope you all had fun.
thank you for watching!!! It must have been nice not to have the crowds...More videos for beautiful Norway coming up soon, so please stay tuned.
Same here haha. I am from Stavanger sentrum and it took me more than 30 years before I went up there as well
We loved the hike 👍👌🇳🇴
Now that's the way to travel on daddy's back lol but what a great 5 mile hike that was, although the rocky path looked tough going, with your son on your back. The boardwalk must have been heaven to walk on after all those stone steps but man it sure looked a busy trail up. Two hours was good going I would say with the children, who did very well and man those views were insane, so worth the effort. I think you made the right call stopping when you did, as the views you got were good enough, I would have loved it there. I am a morning person so in the summer I have no problem getting up at 04.00 and hiking first light and love a quiet hike so it would be early morning of late afternoon for me and I always carry a torch (same in the UK). I bet it was not only your kids who had a good nights sleep that night, cheers Alan
we had so much fun on this hike...this has been on my bucket list for many years...I'm glad I was able to do it on my 50th birthday trip to Norway.

Great hike to preikestolen. Haven’t been there myself yet but hoping to go there someday. You have a wonderful upcoming week 👍

Adeline is a very capable hiker. She is just as good a hiker as a Norwegian. 🙂
Adeline says “thank You for saying what you said” ❤️🇳🇴
@@chasingadeline You're welcome. And well deserved!
I could see the house of my two nephews in the video 😁
Really like your videos, you are a fun family, your kids are so charming and always make me smile 😊 You were actually neighbors with my nephew.😊
Thank You for those kind words!! That is so neat that you can see your brothers house. That area was really nice, I just wish we had more time to explore.
We’re about halfway done with our Norway series, and super excited that we will be going to New Zealand in a few weeks to visit Adeline’s and Matthew’s nephews!!! They can’t wait to see them!!!
I enjoyed this video😄
Yay! Thank you!
Those views on the way up are breath taking amazing, also how good did you sleep that night after carrying Matthew. 😊
Every time I got up in the night because of the kids I really felt it. My legs were like somebody gave me Charlie horses…lol That’s why I was happy doing the boat cruise the next day. Thank you for watching
First
Awesome
recommend you to visit the island of Ombo and climb up bandåsen its a brety plase in sunny weater
Thanks… Please stay tuned our next week video is on a boat cruise we did in Lysefjord and Pulpit Rock
How much it was that Airbnb?
It was $134 a night…most likely much higher if it’s during summertime.
are you in Jørpeland now? you should go around Jørpeland holmen and grill som food because the grills there are free and for everyone to use. that people tell me
I have a few places and recommend you both. 1, bandåsen ombo, 2, steinkjar kjaringa bryne. 3, taura fjelet tau. qnd you should visit the shopping center Kvadrat and the park kongeparken
Thank you for the recommendations!!! It’s nice that I have a distant relative living in Norway with his family, so we do plan to return!!
@@chasingadeline for the kids, I recommend you visit the adventure forest, Norwegian name (eventyr skogen) a local man and the neighbors have arranged it. it is between Hjelmeland and Jørpeland (årdal)
