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.
Vettantrappa is a wooden staircase with 951 steps that runs from Bessaker up to the mountain Vettan in Åfjord municipality, Trøndelag. The peak is 143 metres high.
The staircase was opened in 2022 and offers an easy mountain hike with good views from the first step to the last. About 9 km of timber was used.
Round trip about 1.9 km with 140 metres of elevation gain.
