Ice climbing in Lofoten, Norway
Join an IFMGA certified mountain guide on this 1+ days Ice climbing tour in Lofoten and enjoy an exciting adventure in Norway.
Description
The Lofoten archipelago in Norway is an ice climbers’ dream. Here you will find some of the world’s longest routes: frozen waterfalls are everywhere!
The mountain guides in my team and I have been guiding and setting up first ascents here for many years. Nobody can introduce you to the wonders of ice climbing in Lofoten like we can.
Some of this trip’s highlights:
– Comfortable accommodation – huts or hotels the entire time.
– Low client to guide ratio with UIAGM certified guides.
– Aesthetic ice routes in one of the world’s greatest ice climbing venues.
– Norwegian culture and excellent seafood.
All of my Norway ice climbing programs are arranged on a custom basis and run on a private basis. I will consult you on the suitable itinerary for your skill level and desired climbing objectives.
The dark winter days north of the Polar Circle allow for climbing all winter but this area is best in late February – March, when the light comes back and gives us long enough days to climb these routes without having to use a headlamp.
My private Ice Guiding season books early. Please contact me as soon as possible for details and availability. Please note that I only organize private tours. Unfortunately, I can’t deal with clients looking to join groups. Thank you!
More info Skill level : I cater my private ice program to climbers of all capabilities, from first timers on the ice too advanced climbers looking to climb long hard routes, Norway has allot of ice climbing for all skill levels. |
Meeting point We will meet in Lofoten. To get to Lofoten, you can fly into Svolvær with SAS or fly to Evenes with Norwegian or SAS. The cheapest is to fly to Evenes but you'll have to drive for 2.5 hours to get to Lofoten. This is a beautiful drive so if you arrive in the daylight it's a plus. |

Seth was an excellent guide with a wealth of knowledge and very interesting to chat to. I was nervous about the climb but felt incredibly safe under his instruction. The day was fantastic, I highly recommend it to anyone who can stomach the heights!

Lofoten Ski Lodge is a pleasure for all senses and takes service to the next level. While other resorts or hotels have to mobilise a whole lot of service to make their guests feel comfortable, Seth and his crew have a unique way of creating a cozy atmosphere that makes you feel looked after and taken care of. Thank you for another great weekend!
