Hi there!
Me and my gf are planning a trip to your beatiful country late July this year. I have found this wonderful hike near Stavanger called Lysefjorden Rundt and I have some basic questions, if you guys could help me out.
My main resources are these two websites – https://ut.no/turforslag/116245/signatur-lysefjorden-rundt and https://lysefjorden365.com/lysefjordenrundt/.
1. We are planning to take a plane to Stavanger, what would be the best transportation to either start/end of this route? Also how to get back from the other end to Stavanger.
2. I’ve read there are huts you can sleep over in, is booking in advance necessary? If so, do I just check airbnb, or do these huts have some kind of central online reservation system?
3. Do you need to bring your own food, or are some snacks okay and we can get breakfast and dinner at the accommodation?
4. How many days would you plan this route for? We are pretty fit and we do have some experience navigating in mountains.
If you have any other tips regarding this route, feel free to share them, every single one is greatly appreciated! Cheers!

Not sure about most of the questions, but thats a long hike! Hell just walking up and down again from Prekestolen fucks your knees up pretty bad, i would plan after whatever that page says. Probably a great hike, but a hard one
Check on the ut site using the [name of the cabin](https://ut.no/utforsker/norge/hytter) on the maps.
In most of the hytter, there is nobody except the guests. If my memory serves me right, it should be mentionned on the hytte page. In some but definitely not most of them you can buy some food and pay online or on the spot. I would pack food for several days until you get to Lysebotn were you should be able to replenish your stock.
I have been to skåpet and the place is awesome. However, i do not think there are public transport from vindalen but an alternativ could be to go down to florli and take the boat back to Stavanger.
I did the trip a couple of years ago, but ended up stopping at Songesand because of damaged shoe soles.
It took three days at a comfortable pace. We didn’t go all the way down to Flørli as it is quite steep, and at Kjerag we got driven to the other side of the valley since this part is only asphalt. After this there’s a lot of tractor road going to Songesand. After Songesand it seemed to become a lot steeper as you approach Preikestolen.
I’m sure the whole trip is doable in 4 days. Not sure about accommodations as we only used tent. Also note that some parts have quite bad phone signal.
Good luck!
