Børesteinen Hiking Trail

This hike is demanding as the trail travels steeply uphill all the way, reaching an elevation of almost 1,000 meters above sea level. Conditions are breezy and unprotected at the top, so do not leave children unattended.

Car

This hike starts from Luster Village, located along Road 55 (Norwegian Scenic Route Sognefjellet). Park by the Luster care center. Alternatively, there’s a parking lot on the other side of the river.

Bus

In summer, the local route no. 200 (Lom-Sognefjellet-Sogndal) run across the Sognefjellet mountain plateau. Alight from the bus at Luster. Buy your tickets aboard the bus or via the app Opplandstrafikk Billett.

Also, the local route no. 153 (Sogndal-Gaupne-Fortun) calls at Luster. Buy your ticket aboard the bus. Use Entur to plan your trip.  

The final stretch towards the peak is exposed, so tread carefully. Once at the top, stunning fjord views await.

• Stock up on food at the grocery store in Luster.
