Parking

Our parking facilities can accommodate up to 400 cars, with dedicated hosts to greet you upon arrival. To ensure a smooth parking experience and avoid any potential hazards, we kindly ask for your cooperation with our team and adherence to their instructions.

Although our parking facilities are hardly ever full, the busiest times are on weekends and during the peak season of June, July, and August. We offer two parking areas: Kjerag Parking P1, our primary lot, and Kjerag Parking P2, which is available when P1 is full.

At Kjerag, we provide parking, toilet facilities, and a staffed tourist information office with free Wi-Fi.

Parking is free for the first 2 hours. The gate automatically reads license plates and should open without charge if you leave within this time. If you’re ever unsure, please talk to our staff on site. Outside staff hours, you can call the emergency phone number: (+47) 40 30 68 65. 

Opening hours

Kjerag Parking operates 24/7 from mid-May, when the road opens, until the end of October, when the road closes. The facility is equipped with automatic barriers and on-site payment systems. Staff are available from 07:30 to 20:00 during high season and from 09:00 to 19:00/18:00 in the shoulder seasons. Inspections occur outside of these hours.

You can arrive at any time to start your hike, but please note that staying or sleeping in your vehicle is strictly prohibited. Alternative accommodations are available in Lysebotn. Be mindful of weather and trail conditions when planning your visit, as they can vary significantly throughout the season.

Why does Kjerag Parking charge a fee?

Kjerag is managed by Lysefjorden Utvikling, a non-profit organization dedicated to maintaining high-quality parking and trail facilities. The parking fee directly supports the upkeep of these facilities, with all revenue reinvested.

The fee helps fund our staff who work hard to keep the parking lot, toilets, and surrounding areas clean, safe, and well-organized. Providing these services, including toilets, water, sewage, waste management, WiFi, and a staffed tourist information office, is particularly costly due to Kjerag’s remote location.

We take pride in meeting visitors’ expectations and strive to enhance your experience at Kjerag. By paying the parking fee, you play a crucial role in helping us maintain these standards. We value your feedback and encourage you to share your thoughts through the anonymous questionnaire available via QR codes and tablets at our parking facilities.
