This hiking tour begins with a mountainside ride up to the trailhead. After twists and turns, we’ll set off on foot towards the summit. The hike up covers around 2.5 km, leading us to breathtaking panoramic views of the fjord and villages below. At 1,478 metres above sea level, the scenery from Prest is truly spectacular! Once there, take a deep breath, soak in the natural beauty, seize this moment —create a mental snapshot or snap a selfie—and we'll be ready to head back. Throughout the journey, our guide will be with you, providing insights into the area and its history. Feel free to ask as many questions as you'd like. On our way back, we’ll stop at the famous Stegastein viewing platform, which offers another stunning panoramic view from 650 metres above the Aurlandsfjord.
