Staircase facts
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.
Lysgårdsbakkene is an iconic ski jumping facility in Lillehammer, built for the 1994 Olympics. The facility was completed in 1992 and hosted the ski jumping and Nordic combined events, as well as the opening and closing ceremonies.
The metal staircase has 936 steps. From the top you have a fantastic panoramic view over Lillehammer and Mjøsa.
It looks like you can climb stairs on both sides of the hill.
