Northern Lights Chances
An indication, not a promise: aurora activity over this place (NOAA's OVATION model and Kp forecast) times the clear sky in the best three-hour window of the night (MET Norway), dark hours only; the window is named. The next nights rest on the Kp forecast only; the solar wind cannot be forecast that far ahead. The whole region live: our Northern Lights Forecast; every spot at once: the Northern Lights Visibility Map.

No doubt, Kjerag belongs to the top ten attractions of Norway. The mountain is 1.084 metres above sea level and most known for its giant boulder wedged in a crevice. The hike from the parking takes you about 2.5 hours one way. It’s a challenging hike with steep passages where you have to pull yourself up and slide down with the help of wires. When it is raining, the stones can be very slippery; make sure you have proper footwear. You should definitely check the weather forecast or visit the Facebook site of Kjerag Tourist Information. They give daily advice and warnings for Kjerag hikers.
When you come to the Kjerag parking you will most definitely encounter Henrik or one of his colleagues. They will charge you 200 kr. for parking, for the time you are on your hike.
If the weather is bad or you are just too lazy to hike Kjerag, there is the Kjerag Cafe. While you sip your cappuccino you have an amazing view into the end of the Lysefjord or down to Lysefjordbotn. Also a walk on the balcony reminds you of the Sky Walk at the Grand Canyon ;)
