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.

A little west of Vøringsfossen lies Måbøberget. The mountainside here was, and still is, an important travel route between east and west. The path here was improved with stone steps sometime in the 1700s and is said to consist of about 1,300 steps. Several sources say the staircase is in good condition. It is uncertain exactly where the staircase is, and it has therefore not been drawn precisely on the map.
