Lysefjorden Inn

Description

Step into one of Norway’s most breathtaking ultra trail races—Lysefjorden Inn. Returning in 2026, this iconic 62 km ultramarathon takes runners on a dramatic journey along the length of the Lysefjord, through rugged terrain, ancient trails, and towering fjord walls.

Starting at Oanes, runners ascend into the wild, traversing technical mountain paths, dense forest trails, exposed ridgelines, and historic stone steps. The course passes legendary landmarks including Preikestolen (Pulpit Rock) and Kjerag, offering stunning panoramic views—if your legs and lungs let you look up.

With a cumulative climb of around 2,500 meters, Lysefjorden Inn is not for the faint of heart. This is a race that demands endurance, grit, and a deep respect for the Norwegian wilderness. Weather conditions can vary quickly, adding to the challenge—and the thrill.

The route ends in Lysebotn, where sheer cliffs rise straight out of the fjord and the finish line feels like a reward carved by nature itself. Whether you're here to race, explore, or push your limits, Lysefjorden Inn 2026 promises an unforgettable adventure.
