Lifjell and Dalsnuten are the closest mountains to Stavanger and Sandnes. They make for easy and pleasant day walks. On both peaks, you can enjoy unspoiled views of the local area and see how rich the Stavanger region is in natural beauty - from the sea, to the fjords, to the mountains.
Sandnes and Stavanger may appear to be one big metropolis but they are in fact separate cities. The Sandnes municipality is also much larger than the Stavanger municipality and includes many great places for day trips and hikes. Lifjell is just one of these.
