Stavanger: Private Lysefjord Scenic Road Trip & Viewpoints｜Norway

Experience one of Norway’s most famous fjord landscapes without having to hike to the top of Preikestolen.

This private scenic road trip is designed for guests who want to see the dramatic mountains and deep fjord scenery of the Lysefjord region while enjoying a comfortable and relaxed sightseeing experience by private vehicle.

Your private driver-guide will pick you up from your hotel, accommodation, cruise port or agreed location in Stavanger or Sandnes.

Begin the journey through the Ryfast tunnel system and continue into the beautiful Ryfylke region, known for its dramatic mountains, steep fjord landscapes and scenic roads. Your first main stop is Preikestolen BaseCamp and Revsvatnet, the starting area for the famous Preikestolen hike. Here you can experience the surroundings, enjoy the peaceful lake and mountain scenery and learn about Preikestolen and Lysefjord without undertaking the several-hour mountain hike.

Continue towards Forsand, a small village located close to the entrance of Lysefjord. From here, travel through the Lysefjord Bridge area, where you can stop for photos of the bridge, mountains and surrounding fjord landscape.

The main highlight of the tour is Høllesli Viewpoint, located along the Norwegian Scenic Route Ryfylke. A short walk through the rock landscape leads to impressive panoramic views directly into Lysefjord. From here you can experience the same dramatic fjord and mountain landscape that makes the Preikestolen region world-famous, but without hiking to Pulpit Rock.

Høllesli is an excellent alternative for guests who want to experience Lysefjord scenery with only a short walk rather than a strenuous mountain hike. Along the journey, your driver-guide can also make additional scenic and photography stops depending on weather, visibility and available time.

After enjoying the fjord landscape, relax during the scenic return journey to Stavanger or Sandnes.

The tour is ideal for cruise passengers, couples, families, seniors and anyone who wants to experience Lysefjord at an easy pace.

Because this is a private tour, the pace and stops can be adjusted when reasonably possible to suit your group. The road-based sightseeing format also makes this a great option outside the main hiking season, although stops and accessibility can always depend on weather and road conditions.
