Description

Do you want to go on an adventure in a huge Norwegian Glacier, then this 3-day Hardangerjøkulen glacier hiking traverse is just what you’re looking for.

Hardangerjøkulen is an amazing glacier located in Hordaland county, south Norway.  It’s the sixth largest glacier on its mainland and it can be reached hiking around 5 kilometers south of Finse (1222 m), a small and cozy Scandinavian village.

My plan is to cross the glacier starting an Finse and sleep at the Demmevasshytta, a rustic mountain hut, located right at the foot of the glacier, from where you can admire the blue ice contrasting with millions of stars in the skies!

So you’ll take the train from Oslo to Finse railway station and stay ay a hotel there the first day. Then we’ll hike across the glacier with crampons and using ropes and Ice axe, for around 7 hours. We’ll spend the night at the mountain hut and head back the next day.

So if you think you’re ready for this wild adventure, send me a request now for this 3-day Hardangerjøkulen glacier hiking traverse and let’s start planning your next adventure.

And if you want to try skiing on a glacier, you might also be interested in one of my other trips in Norway: 4-day Jostedalsbreen glacier ski traverse.

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
