Norway
is famous for every type of waterfall ice,
from the mightly wall of Hyndefossen, to the
exciting enormous pillar of Vettisfossen. |
|
This
course is aimed at quite strong ice climbers,
who want to push their grade and climb as
much waterfall ice as possible during a week.
You should be happy seconding Grade IV or
V ice. |
|
If
you are looking for ice falls with no walk-ins,
accessible from a car park, Norway is for
you. You are led by either an IFMGA Mountain
Guide or an experienced and talented MIC Mountain
Instructor, who drives you to all of the best
sites for the best conditions. |
|
The
icefalls of Norway keep their condition longer
in the year than the Alpine waterfalls, giving
a longer season. |
|
On
demand: if
no scheduled course dates are showing in the
column on the right, we can still operate
a course on demand for two people booking
together, on any dates that suit from January
through until the end of April, arriving Sunday
and departing Saturday. |
|
Dates: these
are listed in the column on the right, and
they show the live availability from our secure
online booking system. When you book online,
you receive immediate confirmation, your Alpine
Information Booklet, course specific kit list
and invoice. |
