Whether you're looking for full-day adventures or straightforward ice cragging, Rjukan is a climbing destination not to miss...
Amongst the various sectors of the main gorge you'll find some of Norway's most famous ice routes, from the intimidating test-piece climbs in the majestic Upper Gorge, to the fantastically accessible icefalls at Vemork Bridge, and the pleasant cragging in the Lower Gorge.
Further downstream, and in stark contrast to the confines of the gorge, the steep valley walls above Rjukan town centre, Svadde and Bolgen offer long, open multi-pitch climbs up to 17 pitches in length, some of which are floodlit at night.
Further afield, the remote and committing amphitheaters of Mael and Kong Vinter provide an escape to the crowds, whilst the roadside ice crags of Ozzimosis and Krokan rank amongst the most famous ice climbing venues in the world.
Features 220 climbs:
From WI2 to WI7 and M10, including everything from roadside top-ropes to 17 pitch adventures and multi-pitch test-pieces.
