Ready for one of Norway’s most epic hikes? The trail to Preikestolen (Pulpit Rock) is a must-do! This jaw-dropping cliff towers 604 meters above the sparkling Lysefjord and attracts over 400,000 visitors every year — and for good reason. The views? Simply unforgettable.

When you’re not exploring, there’s plenty to keep you busy: canoeing, stand-up paddling (SUP), trampoline fun, slacklining, ziplining, climbing, swimming, fishing, volleyball, basketball, football, and even biking.
