Reinebringen

A stone staircase of nearly 2,000 Sherpa-built steps climbs the mountain above Reine to a summit at around 484 metres. From the top, the view takes in Reine's red houses, the fjords and the surrounding peaks, though the path itself stays on one side with little view change.

Highlights

  • Panorama over Reine village
  • Sherpa-built stone steps
  • Unpaved summit ridge section

Good to know

  • About 2,000 steps, 400-500 m ascent
  • One to two hours up for most
  • Steep, exposed sections; slippery when wet
