I invite you to an exciting rock climbing trip in a unique destination of the world: the Lofoten Islands. A perfect combination of unforgettable views, 24 hours of daylight and impressive granite walls!
The Lofoten Islands are an archipelago in the north of Norway, 200 kilometers above the Artic Circle. In this beautiful place, there are mountains up to 1160 m rising from the Norwegian Sea.
Furthermore, there’s another phenomenon that creates a stunning scenery: during summer months like July you can experience 24 hours of daylight, or what is known as midnight sun.
Because of this, we’ll be able to have long climbing journeys! As for the weather, temperatures may be up to 30 degrees c during this month. But do not worry: there are also sandy beaches where you can chill out after all the activity.
Lofoten is a great destination for rock climbing, with great sheer granite walls where you can challenge yourself! Besides, you don’t need to be an expert: I can organize trips for every level, adapting the program to your needs and wishes.
Please contact me if you want to be a part of this amazing adventure! I will be glad to help organize the trip and provide information about prices, available dates and the equipment you will need.

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.

Fantastic trip. Guide was experienced and friendly. He took us to some amazing sites where we learned the basics of ice climbing and using crampons as well as using ice axis to climb and be safe on the mountain. We did a snow hike up Gaustatoppen which was an environment we’ve never been too and was an incredible experience. Wish we could have stayed longer! Trip was weather dependent as with anything but that didn’t take away a huge amount of things to do. Rjukan is a wonderful town with gorgeous scenery. Huge thank you to Pawel for this experience!

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.
Stay up-to-date on the best adventures.
