Kjerag and Kjeragbolten

de fr

This hike will take you to the summit of Kjerag, where you can enjoy breathtaking views of the Lysefjord. You will also pass Kjeragbolten, a rock suspended 984 metres above the void. The rock was trapped by a glacier in 50,000 BC.

Instead of going back the same way, this hike climbs to the top of Kjerag and then descends on the other side, forming a loop that offers beautiful views of the valley and passes near a lake before rejoining the outward route.

There are no particular complications except for the start of the climb, which is on a smooth rock, but ropes are there to help. After that, steps have been carved by Nepalese sherpas for the rest of the climb. There are no difficulties with orientation, just follow the path.
