5 Amazing Tours Under the Northern Lights in Tromsø, Norway

Stentind is Norway&#8217;s national mountain. This iconic landmark lies in the Nordland county, only 1 hour away from the town of Narvik, and rises from the sea with the shape of a perfect obelisk. With many climbing routes on its several ridges, it&#8217;s an irresistible mountain for climbers and mountaineers from all over the world. The west and south ridges provide long multi-pitch routes, while the north face of the peak holds the most challenging routes. The best time for climbing Stetind is between June and September. Explore-Share only promotes trips led by certified mountain guides.

I invite you to climb Stetind (1392 m) South Pillar, one of the most classic multipitch climbing routes in Norway. It's a perfect program for experienced climbers.

Stetind is also Norway's national mountain. This high granite monolith peak has an obelisk shape that makes it a unique mountain. Also, the view from the summit is simply amazing!

We will enjoy a fantastic climb with about 14 pitches, climbing up to Norwegian grade 6. However, most of the pitches are in the 4 and 5 area.

The route follows the marked pillar that sticks out from the south face of the mountain. Then, it follows slabs, cracks and dihedrals on pure granite from a ridge known as Kongelosjen, about 900 meters about sea level, all the way to the top of Stetind.

During this day climb, we will ascend about 1400 meters. It will be approximately 10 kilometres in length. It will take us about 10 to 14 hours in total, getting to the summit and back.

Please note that in order to join this tour, you need to be in good shape. Most important, you must be used to hiking and scrambling in exposed and airy terrain. Also, you must feel comfortable climbing at Norwegian grade 6 (French 6A).

So contact me if you want to join me in this 1-day climb to Stetind! I will be happy to answer any questions you may have about the program. I also offer a guided ascent to Stetind by the <a href="http://www.explore-share.com/trip/stetind-normal-route-rock-climbing-trip/">Normal Route</a>. Check it out!

Northern Alpine Guides

<h5>While not nearly as big and tall as other famed peaks in the world, the Stetind mountain (1,392m) in Norway is nonetheless an impressive peak. In fact, as of 2002, it was voted by many local people as the national mountain of Norway. And after one look at its unique and stunning shape it isn't difficult to see why.</h5>
Filled with smooth rock and exciting ridges, the Stetind peak is ideal for rock climbing. That is why I am excited to lead you on this full day climbing adventure on the peak's southeast ridge.

There are several different routes to choose from when climbing Stetind. All of the routes range from a 5.6 to 5.10 level. Hence giving you a challenging and exciting experience, but not one that is exclusive to expert climbers. And from the ridge, you will be able to gaze out into the sea and see a number of gorgeous coastal peaks.

This trip will begin in the early morning at the foot of the mountain. The exact time will be dictated by weather conditions, the time of year and the number of climbers. From there, we will be climbing from 10 to 14 hours, including the descent.

Due to the arduous nature of rock climbing and the number of hours you will be climbing, participants should be in good physical condition. You should also have some prior climbing experience.

Climbing on Stetind is an unforgettable experience. To enjoy it for a full day, just send me a request.

I can also take you climbing on the amazing Svolvaergetia rock tower in the beautiful Lofoten islands on <a href="https://www.explore-share.com/trip/climbing-svolvaergeita-lofoten/">this trip. </a>

Stetind Southeast Ridge, Norway, Guided Rock Climbing

Join me on this 1-day rock climbing trip and reach the summit of Stetind (1392 m), Norway's national mountain! This stunning peak is an impressive high granite monolith. It has an obelisk shape that gives it a unique look.

The Stetind lies in Tysfjord, about an hour drive from Narvik. Most important, I can assure the view from the top is unforgettable!

We will start our climb from the parking lot at the foot of the west ridge of Stetind. From that point, we will hike for about 3 to 4 hours to the Halls fortopp, the east summit. The last stretch to the main summit goes along the east ridge, the normal route. Our climb here will be mostly easy but airy scrambling.

Then, about half way along the ridge, we will find a marked crux known as Mysosten. This is where we will have to climb up an impressive 15-20 meter portion (norwegian grade 4+). It has an 800 meter fall straight down to the valley below us!

We will climb about 1400 meters to the summit of Stetind. It is 10 kilometres in length approximately. Also, getting to the summit and back  will take us between 10 to 14 hours.

In order to join this climb you need to have experience in rugged terrain. Besides, although you don't need to be an experienced climber, you should feel comfortable in exposed and airy terrain.
