Climbing

Western Norway is where mountaineering in Norway started 150 years ago, and where the climbing scene is still pushing the limits.

There are several beautiful areas well suited for sports climbing, wall climbs, bouldering and alpine climbing in the Fjord Norway region. Some of the most developed areas are listed below. Please note that Norway has its own grading system – from grade 1-10, partly similar to the UIAA system. Many of the climbing areas have guidebooks in Norwegian only. They may be hard to order from abroad, but are usually sold in sports stores in the nearest town. The Swiss online book store Piz Buch und Berg sells guidebooks to the region and ships worldwide. You may also want to check out visitnorway.com. 
 

Innerdalen

Mountaineering, ski mountaineering and lots of routes graded at 3 – 6 with 5 - 14 pitches on walls up to 400 m. height. Most popular for climbing are ”Innerdalstårnet” and ” Skarsfjell ” with numerous routes. Typical approaches of two and a half hours. Practice crags close to "Innerdalshytta".
 

Molde & Romsdalen

Three walls at Julsundet, near Molde. Nearby Åndalsnes, easily accessible with train from Oslo Airport you find a wide range of mountaineering, ski mountaineering, bouldering and ice climbing possibilities. Norway's probably most famous big wall is located here; Trollveggen (the Troll Wall), 1000 m high. There are, however numerous other climbs in Romsdalen. Easy classical routes, one of the most popular being the north wall on Romsdalshorn. Many 5-7 pitch trad routes on Hornaksla.
 

Sunnmøre

Alpine area with lots of peaks. Up to 400 meter high walls in beautiful Molladalen with routes at grades 4-6, including the famous ”Bladet” – the knife blade.  A good place for easy scrambling, combined with beautiful walks in the fjord area.
 

Hurrungane (Western Jotunheimen)

This is Norway's classical climbing area, opened by C.W. Slingsby (British) in the late 1800's. The mountains are alpine in character, with numerous glaciers and narrow ridges. Rock quality is generally good. Ridge routes of varying difficulty and length (including snow & ice). Walls up to 750m, with long free routes (grade VI-VII). Some mixed routes (grade 5-6). In addition numerous shorter routes of varying difficulty (grade 2-7). Most approaches require glacier crossing. In addition to offering excellent summer mountaineering, the area holds great potential for winter climbing and ski mountaineering. The guide compamy Norgesguidene has guided climbing in the area.
 

Bergen/ Hardanger

Sports climbers heaven. Lot of climbing routes at Øygaarden, Laksevåg and Sotra of all grades. Sotra has both short traditional routes, and countless sport climbing crags at all levels. In Hardanger, nearby Rosendal, there is a 600 m high wall at Vetletind in Uskedalen in pure granite. Contact the local climbing club for more info.
 

Stavanger

Lots of local crags. Big walls 500-1000 m high a few hours drive from Stavanger; Tau Hunnedalen, Dirdal, Skeisfjell, Espedalen. Kjerag is known as the worlds best base jumping spot, and is probably one of the best walls for long wall routes, with solid granite.
