Trad climbing in the Lofoten islands

Duration : 10 days

Norway, Lofoten

Level : 5c/6a (cliff climbing)

from 2900 € / p. from 2 to 4 persons

Description

Treat yourself to a wonderful traditionnal climbing adventure 200 kilometers north of the Arctic Circle, in a paradise bringing together the most beautiful jewels of Norwegian nature.

We will climb under the midnight sun in a breathtaking environment above the fjords of the Lofoten islands, on a rock with granite cracks more than 300 meters high. These islands fascinate with their magnificent landscapes, local culture and hundreds of climbing routes between sea and mountains.

It is possible to prepare yourself for this course before departure with an introduction to climbing on cams, which will also allow you to know rope handling, belay building and above all to learn to climb in complete safety.

Departure possible in June / July only according to demand and weather conditions.

If you are looking for new horizons, I also offer a climbing stay in the Sultanate of Oman. You can also progress in traditional climbing by opting for these 3 days of trad climbing in Annot in the Alpes-de-Haute-Provence, or even initiate yourself to aid climbing in Isère.
