Multi-pitch rock and ridgelines in Hurrungane with a certified climbing instructor.
«Great course with a good and steady instructor. The instructor adapted the course along the way and made sure that everyone in the group would experience mastery and safe travel in the mountains!»
Join us for high-quality courses and adventures in the Norwegian mountains. We specialise in all kinds of mountaineering, such as hiking glaciers, climbing mountains, and reaching summits. We offer activities for all, from mountaineering for beginners to those more experienced. And we have been doing this since 1994.
All our activities are real mountaineering, high in the Norwegian mountains and in all kinds of weather. You might be cold even in the middle of the summer; you might be wet and tired. Or you might see the mountains through sunglasses and feel no wind. Whatever weather you get, we promise a genuine experience. And smiles on the pictures.
All our guides are certified by the Norwegian National Guide Organisation (Norsk Fjellsportforum) for the activities they lead. Most mountain guides are either certified as glacier guides or climbing guides, and a few as both. As a company, we are certified at the highest level (level 2).
You will find us in Jotunheimen in the central part of Norway. Jotunheimen means ‘home of giants’ and has the highest mountains of Norway with several glaciers in between. The conditions for experiencing real mountaineering, such as climbing, glacier hiking, and summits, are excellent. This is the cradle of Norwegian mountaineering, and you will understand why once you are here.
On the glacier course you learn to travel safely on glaciers on your own: knots, rope teams, crampons and ice axe, route finding, belaying and crevasse rescue. On the climbing course we start with climbing technique in Lom, before we head for the high mountains in Jotunheimen. If you want more, the mountaineering course combines glacier and climbing, and the alpine expedition course prepares you for your own expeditions. Glacier and climbing equipment is included, and the groups are small, so you get close follow-up the whole way.
