Description

Learn the basics or the most difficult rescue scenarios – or anything in between- on this unique rock climbing course in Lofoten. While you acquire new skills, enjoy the long midnight sun days, perfect granite cracks, glaciers, and beautiful mountains.

The midnight sun is a unique phenomenon that can only be experienced in the Arctic circle and its surroundings. The 24-hour sun period that these select places such as Norway go through is an event in itself. If you pair that with stunning landscapes, you have a perfect combination for an energy-charged experience.

The Lofoten Archipelago is a breathtaking place where the midnight sun shines bright. With its stately mountains rising up from the sea, it is full of majestic landscapes and, in the summer, great rock climbing opportunities. On this rock climbing course in Lofoten, I would like to teach you valuable skills and show you some of its most stunning vantage points!

The first thing we will do before setting off is a quick equipment check. We will also run through some rock climbing techniques. Then, we will head out to discover the Lofoten gems. As we climb high up the granite peaks, we will catch some gorgeous views of the coastline and surrounding mountains, while putting to practice what we are learning.

We will not only have light, but also a lot of physical energy to tackle some superb climbs. I will adapt the course content to your preferences and needs. Additionally, Lofoten has some beautiful towns and great food so it’s well worth touring over the span of a few days. Long ones at that.

For this excursion, it is best if you have some prior climbing experience. It is also important to have a good fitness level. You can join me on any of the listed group dates below or inquire about private guiding. I will be there every step of the way to show you the ropes.

Are you ready to learn some amazing rock climbing skills in Lofoten? Then book your place now and join me on this unique course in Norway, or inquire about guided rock climbing days in the region, which I also offer!

Man

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.
