Kjerag

Kjerag is a seasonal destination. Before the opening of the county road between Sirdal and Lysebotn around mid-May, Kjerag is only suitable for well-prepared walkers with a local guide. The snow is deep and requires skis or snowshoes. The season ends when the road closes due to snowfall in October/November.

The hike to Kjerag takes from six to ten hours up and down again, and is around eleven kilometres long. You must be in good physical shape before embarking on this mountain tour, which has an ascent of 800 metres. Certain stretches require you to hoist yourself up and down using a steel wire, so this hike is challenging even for experienced hikers. You start at the car park in Øygardstøl. Ask the hosts in the car park for weather updates - they will give you all the information you need before departure. 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 trip without an escort, we recommend that you take part in a guided tour. A good guide can turn a bad day into a wonderful experience.

The Kjerag is one of Norway's biggest attractions. The walk is so long and demanding that it gives experienced walkers a sense of mastery, while the path is so well laid out that most people reach the top.

We recommend visiting Kjerag on a guided tour !
