This is the starting point for hikes up to the famous Preikestolen, in beautiful surroundings with great views. It’s a little more expensive than most hostels but it’s also popular, so remember to book in advance. You can choose rooms with two beds, four beds or the dormitory. A bed in the dorm room goes for 225 kr (US$38) but, if there are two of you, you’re better off taking a double room for 595 kr (US$100); prices include breakfast. The hostel opens in mid-May and closes in September. There is also a Mountain Lodge on the premises which is open all year, but costs more.
The hostel can also be contacted by email at post@preikestolenfjellstue.no.
