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.
Munketreppene at Nosi consists of 616 stone steps. (The name is somewhat disputed, since it's not entirely certain whether it was the local farmers or the monks who were behind its construction). The monks arrived in the early 1200s and brought with them a great deal of knowledge, including about fruit growing. The monks disappeared with the Reformation in 1537.
I'm not entirely sure how continuous the staircase is or where it starts/ends. Tips are appreciated.
Round trip about 11-12 km and 1,000 meters of elevation gain.
