Not sure if you’re up for it? All participants climbing the Olav Route must first have completed Hekseveggen. This ensures you have the required skill level and helps avoid potentially dangerous situations during the final push to the top.
Climbing a Via Ferrata in such spectacular, airy surroundings creates a deep sense of achievement and joy. Taking on what may be the most exposed Via Ferrata in the world requires a lot – but the reward is even greater!
This is for those who are physically fit, have good body strength, experience with long mountain hikes, have climbed a Via Ferrata before, and want to challenge themselves in a safe, guided environment.
Our skilled guides ensure your safety and that of the group, so you can fully focus on your climb and the shared experience.

Hornelen Via Ferrata (Olavsruta)
Are you ready for an adrenaline-filled outdoor adventure like no other? Hornelen Via Ferrata takes you 860 meters straight to the top of Europe’s highest sea cliff. Sheer vertical excitement with the ocean right beneath you and eagles soaring at your side – an experience you will never forget! This guided full-day tour takes you all the way to the summit of Mount Hornelen. You will definitely feel the adrenaline here. The tour starts at Smalsarhuken, the shelter where “Hekseveggen” (The Witch’s Wall) ends. From there, the route gradually increases in difficulty, leading up to the crux just before the summit – a dramatic 45-meter overhanging climb that will truly get your heart racing.
