Join an IFMGA mountain guide for an amazing ice climbing trip in Rjukan (Norway), one of the top destinations in Europe, only 175 km away from Oslo.
+1 Day
Jan - Apr, Nov, Dec
Are you ready for an incredible adventure? Join me for this trip and discover why Rjukan, a southern city of Norway, is one of the best places in the world for ice climbing.
Rjukan is a village 175 km away from Oslo and 370 km from Bergen. It’s in a deep valley where you can find more than 150 waterfalls.
Besides being a top ice climbing destination, this area also has the first artificial wall for ice climbing in Europe.
The winter season goes from November to April.
I organize ice climbing trips for beginners as well as for more experienced climbers. We’ll be climbing classical routes in this area, according to your level. Because of the diversity and large number of waterfalls, this region offers plenty of challenges!
We can go there for 2 or more days, between 5 and 10 hours each day.
In addition, I offer ice climbing courses for those who want to make their first steps in this amazing sport.
Another interesting thing to do in Rjunkan is visiting the charming town in the valley and enjoy the wild nature and beautiful peaks that surround it. There’s also an interesting historical museum you can visit.
Please contact me if you want to go ice climbing in this Norwegian paradise! I will be glad to organize a trip that suits your wishes.

Mountain Guide
I am a fully certified IFMGA guide since 2012. I have, however, mastered my climbing and skiing skills for many years before taking up guiding. I have participated in numerous climbing expeditions not only to the wild mountains of Caucasus (which I have gotten to know pretty well), but also to Nepal, Alps and have extensively climbed in many Norwegian areas. In recent years I have been resident in Norway, and I co-operate with my friends at Lyngen Outdoor Center as their chief mountain guide.

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.
