What to expect

Consider spending a day climbing the world’s longest wooden staircase. With its 4444 steps, Flørli is known to be one of the scariest stairs in the world. The climb is long and strenuous but provides great lookout points where you can stop to catch your breath while enjoying the vista over the Lysefjord down below. This is a two-part hike that does not take you through the same scenery more than once. The descent follows the hundred-year-old marked trail that was once used by the “Rallarer”.

Rallarer were often underprivileged men that were employed in the 1800s Norway to help build infrastructure. They are remembered to have carried up to 80 kg loads on their backs and are the ones that built the stairs along with the Flørli Hydroelectric Power Station at their base. The dam at Ternevatnet, which the return trail passes, also stands as a reminder of their mastery. They also offer a lighter version of this trip, where you can climb 700 stairs before you head back down to the village. This tour also includes Lysefjord cruise where you can view the Pulpit Rock from sea-level.

Hikers should be prepared with clothes and shoes accordingly to the weather forecast. Hiking boots are strongly encouraged, or approach shoes, at the very least. Other suggestions include warm, windproof and waterproof clothing
Bring some water with you to keep hydrated, preferably in a container that can be refilled on the trail. Norwegian mountains are full of crystal clear, clean and very tasty water sources. Lunch will not be provided, so please bring your own food and snacks
Last but not least, each hiker is responsible for carrying his/her own gear, so a suitable backpack is recommended
Approximately 4.8km distance
