Solo Hiking & Wild Camping at Preikestolen (Pulpit Rock) in Norway

Thank you to Milrab for supplying the sleeping gear and Arc'teryx for the best weatherproof clothing. This is the best hike in Norway that nearly everyone can access and have a spectacular view over Lysefjorden.
Sunrise at the top is truly spectacular and worth the hike. During high season you can expect lots of people and I advise to start as early as possible to get the best hiking experience.
On the hike you can find emergency shelter, and the terrain is relatively mild. The hike to the top took me around 2,5h (including filming) and the way down around 50min.
The trail is well marked and safe for children making it hard to get lost.
At the Preikestolen plateau there are no safeguards or wiring around the edges, so please be cautious and extremely careful. The weather conditions are constantly evolving and high winds and rain storms are to be expected at the top.
Not only did Tom Cruise film Mission Impossible movie there, but Pulpit Rock or Preikestolen is one of the top landmarks and tourist attractions for people visiting Norway and was originally discovered by Peter Randulff.

Preikestolen is such a fun hike, this makes me miss Norway so much. I am really surprised though that there were no other people around, I remember it being super crowded on the top anytime after 7:00 in the morning.

@joelhypponen 3 жыл бұрын

Thanks so much Karin and glad you enjoyed the video! Was really surprised by that as well, but I guess due to unstable weather and being early in the season it was just a handful of people who were all out by the night. Prob will be a lot of people during the summer days though :)

@joelhypponen 2 жыл бұрын

So nice to hear that and thank you, glad you enjoyed it! I would recommend going there during weekdays to have less people around, and try to find a spot with a decent wind block. It can get really windy during the nights if you are in an exposed spot like I was haha! Good luck :)

The light at 9:11 was just epic!! Wind like that can make for some incredible light and colour. I am glad you stayed safe during your time up there. Seemingly not many people at all like there used to be. I have not been at Preikestolen myself but all that variety in the landscape on the way up makes this hike so rich. Have you been at Kjeragbolten? Similary fantastic hike. This video was fantastic to watch, so well shot and edited, Joel, as always! It makes one yearn for a proper good hike in Norway. Thank you for making it and sharing!

Hi Joel, what a great video of your overnight backpacking trip to Priekestolen. What brand of tent did you use, and how much does it weigh? Has it been a good packpacking tent in your expérience?

@joelhypponen Жыл бұрын

Thank you very much Michael! It's MSR Hubba NX and weighs about 1kg total and packs small. Super light and easy to setup and been enjoying it a lot. It is small, but just enough space for solo trips.

Very inspiring. How do you find this tent? I am considering to buy it for trip to Lofoten, very impressive weight, but structure seems weak and not strong enough for north winds. What is your experience with it?

@joelhypponen 2 жыл бұрын

Thank you very much, and glad you enjoyed it! Found the tent on a Norwegian online store, and so far been really happy with it, especially with its weight and simple construction. For more harsh conditions a tunnel tent is likely a better option as those hold better in strong winds :)

how do you navigate through all your hikes? Are there clear indicators to lead your path like walkways/ cobbled paths etc? Or do you pre-plan them with references to help you?

@joelhypponen 2 жыл бұрын

Great question. Really depends on the hike. If it's relatively common, there are usually markings on the way, but sometimes it's just Google Earth research and planning my route online beforehand.

During summer season it can get a bit crowded, but I highly recommend a sunrise hike for the chance to be alone. It's a relatively short hike (under 2h up) so camping is optional. :)
