FAQs: Rock Climbing in Norway
What should I know about Rock Climbing Norway?
Well above the Arctic Circle is where you will find the best rock climbing available in Norway. From the Lofoten archipelago to the iconic Stetind this harsh environment is both an excellent location to learn rock climbing skills and techniques as well as hone them. Getting here can be quite tricky, but your effort to arrive is more than rewarded. To get to this remote region you will likely have to fly into Oslo then take another regional flight into Bodø or Narvik and from there another flight, bus or ferry onto your final destination. However, once you arrive, you will be rewarded by sparsely populated landscapes that have been carved by nature’s fury.
