About

Kjerag

The mountain massif has long been most admired from the fjord, but in recent years it has become increasingly popular to take the hiking trail to the plateau itself.

Most people are happy to enjoy the view of the Lysefjord from the plateau itself, but for some hikers, the highlight is to be immortalized on Kjeragbolten, a round boulder wedged in a rock crevice. Kjerag has also become a popular destination for mountain climbers and base jumpers.

Take a guided tour!

In rainy weather, you must pay particular attention to the fact that the path can be slippery.

If you are inexperienced with mountain walks or feel unsure about going on such a walk without an escort, we recommend that you take part in a guided walk. A good guide can turn a bad day into a wonderful experience.

Check the weather forkast!

Even when sunny and good weather is reported, weather conditions can change quickly. Therefore, you should always check the weather forecast and ask local experts for advice before starting your trip. Do not set out on a trip if strong winds, heavy rain or fog have been reported.

Be prepared!

Pack a sturdy 30-litre rucksack to fit everything you need. Map and compass, first aid kit, fully charged mobile phone and headlamp are just some of the things we recommend you take in your bag.

Always wear the right footwear. Hiking boots are recommended. The trip to Kjerag is over rough terrain, and you will need solid foot and ankle support.
