Very scenic climb and some airy parts where the puls go up. 

Description

In Hemsedal we have two different via ferrata trips. Both start at Skarsnuten Hotel and end at Vesle Røgjin, but the routes split along the way.

Original route

Suitable for everyone from 12 years and up who wants a steep mountain hike with a little extra. No prior knowledge is required here. The route is grade B, with a couple of points grade C. Duration: 3-4 hours.

The south wall

This is a slightly longer and more demanding trip. The route has a common start with the original route and eventually enters Sørveggen. Suitable for you who have climbed via ferrata before or have other climbing experience, 12 years and up. The route is graded degree D / C. Duration: 3.5-4.5 hours.

Age / weight restrictions

Suitable for everyone between 40 kg and 120 kg, and over 145 cm. Recommended age limit 12 years, but one must weigh a minimum of 40 kg due to the approval of the equipment we use.

Times and booking

We start the season at the end of May. We have trips every weekend in spring and autumn, and every day in the summer and autumn holidays.
