I climbed this today. Worth the effort to get there.

Got some great drone footage too which I will upload to my channel next month.

Norway has built many sherpa stairs to various popular viewpoints because tourism has increased considerably in recent years. In some places, the increased traffic meant that it eventually became impossible to get forward, because paths on loose ground collapsed.
By building the stairs, you not only take care of the tourists, you also take care of nature. Since Norway is so far north, the growing season is short, and it is particularly important to protect plant life, which with its roots create solid ground. In some places where stairs have not been built, the vegetation is completely gone because of traffic of people, and the forest floor consists only of sand and soil, which is quite unusual in Norway where the sun is not blocked by vegetation.

I am Norwegian, and had to check how old the video is, because there have been deaths at Preikestolen, but it is suspected that some of the cases have been suicides.
A Spanish man fell in 2013, and a Norwegian fell in June this year. As far as I can find out, both were accidents.
Every year there are many rescue operations because people do not dare to go back from the plateau.
If you stay away from the place in rainy weather, don't go there in winter, wear good shoes and stay away from the edge, it should be safe. I haven't been there, but I don't think there are any places where you have to go all the way to the edge to get there.
Sometimes people forget to pay attention because they want to take pictures, and then accidents can happen.

Very nice video. On our list for next summer.

Question: what do you use to make the path animation on the map?
Thanks

Hi ! 1) The mountain condition surrounding Preikestolen is still ok for the ordinary person to hike in Late-Oct ? 2 ) Has any public transport between Stavanger and Preikestolen in Late-Oct ? Many Thanks !

Aloha! Planning to do it mid september. Is it still safe to hike on that month

[dirkhoekstra]

Unfortunately, you can't BASE-jump from there, because there are no landing spots below. Just water.

Not sure if it is for me. I'm afraid of heights 😦

Hallo, wir haben auch den Aufstieg zum Preikestolen gemacht und möchten ergänzen, dass wir in unserem Alter (nahe 70) den Weg nicht in 1, 5 Stunden absolvieren konnten. Wir empfanden den Weg als schwierig, und nur schwer zu bewältigen, da die Treppenstufen aus Naturstein ein schnelles Vorankommen nicht zu ließen. Zudem sind dort ständig so viele Menschen unterwegs, dass es in engen Passagen ständig zu Wartezeiten kommt. Ja, der Ausblick ist beeindruckend, die Sicherheitsmaßnahme eine Katastrophe und fehlenden Warnschilder zu Beginn des Weges unverantwortlich. Das führt dazu, dass auch Eltern mit Kleinkindern auf dem Arm diesen Weg wagen, der NICHT ohne ist. Ihr solltet also nicht nur aus Eurer Sicht die Frage stellen, Lohnt sich der Aufstieg oder nicht. Ansonsten aber ein klasse Video.

Brought to you by another, " look at me moment".

Saying that no one have fallen from Preikestolen is wrong. You should do your research

[dertigerbauch]

Thanks for the warning, I will definitely avoid this completely infiltrated place.
