Hiking in Flørli
Spend three days in Flørli:
Snow info:
(updated 05.04.24) The upper steep sections in the Flørli Stairs still have a lot of snow and the hike to the top of the stairs is therefore not yet recommended. We expect the hike to the top of the stairs to be doable from the third week of april: there will still be snow, but it will have melted enough that the hand-railing to hold on to will be visible. When in doubt, send us an email to ask about current conditions: hessel@florli.no.
Skåpet: the path will be mostly snowfree from the second week of may. Kjerag and Langavatn: a lot of snow remains in the mountains and we expect you can hike these hikes from the end of may.

Secret Path
Minimum to bring: half a litre of water. At the top of the stairs you can refill from the lake. Sturdy shoes as the path down is rocky and uneven. Sections of the path turn into a river with rainfall! A wind blocking jacket as it is much colder and often windy at the top of the stairs.
Study a map. You can buy suitable topographic maps in the Flørli café. There is also a map on the wall of the café to take pictures of.
Spring: there generally is snow at the top of the stairs until the middle of april. First weeks of april: send us a mail to ask if it’s safe to go. March: don’t go, as there is snow in dangerous, steep sections of the stairs.
Autumn: bring a flashlight if you start your hike in the afternoon. The first problematic amounts of snow are expected in the first part of november: don’t hike the stairs after that.
Winter: the stairs are closed due to snow. Consider hiking Flørneset Opp or Flørli Cliffhike, which generally will still be doable.
