The hike to Preikestolen plateau is moderately demanding with steep ascents at times. The trail is well-marked, and parts of it have been improved by Nepalese Sherpas who built stone steps. This makes it easier to ascend and descend. The hike takes about 4 hours, so it’s important to bring enough food and drinks. Good shoes and warm clothing are also essential. Monitor the weather forecast before departure.
