Incredible ice climbing trip in the frozen waterfalls of Sogn og Fjordane, in West Norway, together with an IFMGA mountain guide.
Scandinavian Mountains
+1 Day
Feb, Mar
I invite you to climb the incredible frozen waterfalls of Sogn og Fjordane, a paradise of blue fjords and stunning peaks in west Norway.
Sogn og Fjordane is surrounded by the highest mountains in the country. Besides, it has The Jostedalsbreen Glacier, which is the largest ice cap in continental Europe. And above all this, it’s also famous for being ‘the land of waterfalls’.
This area draws many nature lovers during summer, that come to admire some of the greatest waterfalls in the country. But when the winter season arrives and water freezes, it’s the time for ice climbers!
Most of the frozen icefalls are close to the fjords or in the valleys. There are short or long lines, that you can choose according to your skills in the ice.
I organize ice climbing trips for all levels, from beginners to more experienced climbers. In fact, I also offer ice climbing courses, if you want to learn the basics. In all cases, it’s essential to have a good physical condition.
We can go there for one or several days, depending on your time and wishes. Each day will have a length between 5 to 10 hours.
Besides, you can include additional activities to your trip, like boat trips, yoga practice, massage sessions and cross-country trips.
Please, contact me if you want to join me for this exciting adventure in Sogn og Fjordane. I will help you organize the best trip for you, according to your wishes and ice climbing experience.

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.

Pawel was a fantastic guide, I couldn’t have hoped for anything better for my first trip ice climbing. In particular I was very impressed with his ability to make sure that I was always challenged but never entirely out of my depth and his coaching helped me to develop without overloading me with information.

The most fantastic day with the most helpful, skilled and friendly guide and instructor! We had a really wonderful and exciting day, learned a great deal and enjoyed the truly spectacular scenery. Pawel was extraordinarily supportive, patient and impressive in his sharing of knowledge and for making it a great day all around. Big thanks and we look forward to the next time!

We were 3 guys heading out for our first time iceclimbling, and it was one of the best trip either of us had ever been on. Friendly and attentive guide, who clearly focused on our needs. We felt very safe throughout and our only regret is that we didn't have more days. Big thanks to Pawel for being a terrific guide.
