We've chosen to include some staircases that aren't "classic sherpa staircases", since wood and metal staircases can obviously serve the same purpose — making it easier for people to get up into the mountains. Vegatrappa and Midnattsoltrappa are good examples of staircases that do the same job as a "classic sherpa staircase", just in wood.

This site is meant as an overview of all the longer hiking staircases in Norway, not just stone staircases built by sherpas from Nepal.

Energitrappa is located by Hol Idrettslag's skating rink. The staircase has 408 steps and was built in 2006 by a volunteer crew of over 20 people, with support from the local energy company Ustekveikja Energi AS.

The staircase has become a well-known training spot in Hallingdal, not least for local speed skaters. At the top there's a shelter with benches and tables, with views over the village and Holsfjorden.
