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.

There are said to be two "power staircases" in Høyanger — the one marked here, and one down in the town centre. As far as I can tell, the one in the town centre is closed. There's talk of renewing some sections with a new aluminium staircase, though it's unclear whether that refers to this one or the one in the town centre. I'd appreciate any tips.

There should also be a path alongside the staircase for those who don't want to walk down the steps.
