Our parking facilities can accommodate up to 1,000 cars and 20 tour buses. Our dedicated hosts will greet you upon arrival. To ensure a seamless parking experience and prevent any potential hazards, we kindly ask that you cooperate with our team and adhere to their instructions.
The busiest period is from 8 am to 4 pm, particularly on weekends and during the peak season of June, July, and August. We have two parking areas available. Preikestolen Parking (P1) is the primary lot, and if it becomes full, you will be directed to Moslimyrå (P2).
If both parking lots are at maximum capacity, you may be directed to the Overflow Waiting Zone, and we will advise you when you can return. This measure is implemented to ensure the safety and convenience of all hikers. You may use this opportunity to explore the charming town of Jørpeland.

No camping at/around Preikestolen Parking.
Preikestolen Foundation is a non-profit organization. Visitors can take advantage of our excellent parking and trail facilities, which are maintained to the highest standards. To cover the cost of these facilities, we charge a parking fee, with all the revenue generated being reinvested back.
The parking fee enables us to employ staff who ensure that the parking lot and its toilet facilities are clean, safe, and well-organized, with clear signposting and guidance to help visitors find their way around.
Furthermore, the parking fee revenue is used to maintain and improve our trail facilities: from basic maintenance such as clearing the trail to safety measures and more substantial upgrades such as installing new signage, replacing bridges, and more.
We take pride in our parking and trail facilities and strive to make sure that they meet the expectations of our visitors. By paying the parking fee, you are helping us to maintain the high standards that we have set for ourselves and contributing to the overall enjoyment and safety of your Preikestolen experience.
We welcome your honest feedback, whether it’s positive or negative. To facilitate this, we have set up QR codes and tablets at our parking facilities, which allow you to complete an anonymous questionnaire.
