Description
Come and join me on an 7-day journey on the ice falls of Rjukan, Norway.
Throughout this week long adventure, you will get to climb a number of incredible ice falls throughout Rjukan. In fact, there are over 150 ice falls to choose from. There are challenging climbs, easy climbs and intermediate climbs. As a result, this trip is open to people from a beginner to advanced skill level. And due to the sheer volume of available ice falls, we will be able to pick, explore and enjoy the absolute best ice falls in the area.
On the first day of the trip, after you arrive in Oslo, we will rent a car and make our way to Rjukan. After an initial briefing, you will get to relax and rest in your lodgings. After that, right up until the final day of the trip, you will be ice climbing on the glorious, multi-sized, even multi-colored, ice falls. And on the final day of the trip, we will transfer you back to Oslo, where you will then fly back home, wherever that may be.
While this trip is open to people of all skill levels, all participants should be in good physical condition, as ice climbing can be a physically demanding activity.
Not only is Rjukan an absolutely spellbinding place to behold, it is also a paradise for ice climbing. To experience 7 magical days of that ice climbing, just send me a request. I look forward to guiding you.

Mountain Guide
My name is Marco Bigatti, nicknamed “Il Biga”. I was born in Milan, I started climbing in 2006 and since then I have not been able to tear myself away from the vertical world. I turned my passion into a job, becoming Mountain Guide in October 2017, the first mountain guide that lives all the year in Sardinia.
I experience the mountains from a 360-degree point of view. I have practiced all disciplines of climbing in the Alps: rock climbing, alpinism, ice climbing , as well as ski mountaineering.
In addition to alpinism, I love pure sport climbing, seeking out the best climbing sectors throughout the entire Alpine range. But it was in Sardinia that I found a paradise of crags, in particular in the south-west of the island, where you are able to enjoy all types of climbing throughout the year.
I offer climbing day or trips for beginners or experienced climbers who need a guide, multipitch packages for those who want to live an alpine experience, climbing courses, all-inclusive climbing holiday with accommodation in our nice B&B by the sea, guided trekking and mountain biking tours.

We had an amazing experience with Marco! He is super professional, very easy to communicate with, and took us to incredible climbing spots.

Guide Marco was great and kept me safe and informed throughout the trip. Ok trip b/c of lighting. Also, I was tired due to allergies and this wasnt best time for me to go up. Also, after coming back home I found out that we had used the whole trail through the moraine at the bottom of the glacier when in reality a guidebook I had showed we should have the upper part of the trail on the ridge (above moraine) which would have avoided much walk in the unstable rocks. We took that part of the trail on the descent but could have used it on the way up as well, according to my guidebook on mt blanc. Probably wouldnt have changed too much but contributed to my tiredness from, in part, due to my lack of experience on moraine/rock filled trails. Overall a good experience though
William
He was extremely skilled and educated on the surrounding area and was very flexible with anything I wanted to do.

Marco helped us get accustomed with the gear, belaying and all that and we felt safe all the way. This was our first multi pitch experience and is sure was the highlight of our trip! Hope to come again 🤗
