Lifjell from Hommersåk

Lifjell is one of the finest viewpoints in North Jæren. From the summit, you can enjoy panoramic views of Stavanger, Gandsfjorden, the North Sea and Ryfylke.

The hike from Hommersåk

From the car park, follow the gravel road as it winds uphill towards the summit. The first section is fairly steep, but you will be rewarded with increasingly impressive views of Hommersåk, Riska and Strand along the way. At the summit, magnificent views await in every direction.

Follow the correct route and show consideration

There are several roads and paths in the area. Follow the correct route, and bring a map or download the route description before setting out. The surface may be wet and slippery after rain, so wear shoes with good grip and dress for the weather.

Keep a safe distance from grazing animals, keep your dog under control and close all gates behind you.
