Description

Do you love ice climbing? Are you looking for that new, exciting ice climbing location? Then come to Rjukan in Norway. Home to over 150 incredible ice falls, Rjukan, which is long considered one of the best ice climbing locations in northern Europe, will almost certainly provide you with all of the amazing ice climbing you can handle.

This trip can last for one, or several days depending on your wishes. Though, I won’t be surprised if you decide to stretch this trip multiple days. The ice climbing in Rjukan is simply amazing. Not only that, the area itself is stunning. Located over 175 kilometers from Oslo and 375 kilometers from Bergen, you will be climbing in the wilderness. Thus providing you with a fantastic Norwegian experience.

This trip, while great for experienced ice climbers, is also great for beginners. So, even if this is your first ice climbing trip, I know you’ll have a great time in Rjukan.

We will be climbing between 5-10 hours per day. As a result, it is important that participants on this trip are in good physical condition.

If ice climbing in Norway sounds like an adventure you want to enjoy, this trip is for you. To be a part of it, all you have to do is send me a request. I look forward to guiding on the beautiful ice falls of Rjukan.

I also offer a 2-day, beginner level, ice climbing course in Rjukan, which you can enjoy here.

I started working as a full time climbing instructor in 2011, and since then I haven't looked back. I love being in the wild nature, and I believe I have the best job in the world!

During the winter months, I live in Rjukan, the most fabulous place for ice climbing. You have to see it to believe how great this place is! Book me for a course or guided climbing in this ice paradise.

I also travel a lot for climbing and guiding. Places that I return to over and over again are Kalymnos and Mallorca.

Don't hesitate to get in touch with me, and I promise a rewarding and inspirational experience!

My partner and I went on a 5-day ice climbing trip with Jørn and we loved every single day of it. We started off with different levels of experience but Jørn organised our days in a way that we were both pushed to expand our comfort zones but without taking it too far for either of us. Jorn is someone who isn’t just good at ice climbing itself but also knows how to teach. We learnt many valuable lessons and progressed a lot in those 5 days. We also greatly enjoyed Jørn's company and his passion for the outdoors. We are definitely coming back for more!
