Lofoten – Kletterreise
High above a Caribbean-like sea and red wooden houses, every pitch of perfect dark granite turns the Lofoten into a unique climbing trip
7 days · Lofoten
Lofoten - climbing trip: The Lofoten are a landscape that could not be painted more beautifully. A deep blue sea with azure accents, lush green blueberry carpets growing beneath dreamy birch woods, idyllic little red wooden houses in between, and above them dark granite faces of the finest quality, on which we will hang and from which we will view this unique landscape from a very special perspective.
Climbing in the Lofoten means superb crack climbing that demands a lot of self-reliance. In keeping with the local climbing ethic, we leave no trace on our tours and protect the routes entirely with removable gear. For me personally, the Lofoten are still probably the most scenic place I have ever been lucky enough to visit.
It is a very special climbing trip, on which we will mainly be climbing alpine multi-pitch routes. Depending on the weather, conditions and climbing level, we choose the right routes on site.

PROGRAMME
Day 1: Arrival in Svolvær
We fly to Norway together, meeting either directly at the departure airport or when changing planes in Oslo. We will coordinate the flights accordingly. On request, we are happy to take care of all the bookings. On arrival at Evenes airport, we pick up a rental car and drive to Svolvær, where we check into our accommodation. In the evening, we make plans for our climbing week and choose routes to match the climbing level.
Days 2-6: Climbing and sightseeing
We spend the following days in this dreamlike landscape. The best part is that there is no need to rush, as the sun does not set anyway. We can enjoy both the climbing and the rest of the holiday to the full. After a few days of climbing, there is also plenty of time to explore this wild, unspoilt and jagged peninsula – which in reality consists of countless small islands – and to go on a great excursion.
The rough granite and the superb crack climbing will thrill us, and we will capture stunning bird's-eye views of the beautiful bays. After our climbs, we drop in at the friendly climbers' café in Henningsvær and let the day wind down in relaxed style.
Day 7: Departure
After 6 days, this climbing dream slowly comes to an end. Our hands will bear the marks of the crack climbing, our muscles will be hardened and our climbing will be on a whole new level. With countless memories in our luggage, we set off on our journey home – wistful, but overjoyed.
Sounds good, but not quite perfect?
No problem: this programme is just one idea of how the trip could look. The length of the trip can be extended or shortened as you wish. I will gladly put together an individual programme for you or your group, tailored entirely to your ideas and wishes.
Simply send a no-obligation enquiry using the form above.
