Climb and Sail Norway - More than just climbing, an adventure trip to the diversity of the Lofoten Islands

• What does this adventure offer

  Climbing, hiking, bouldering, kayaking, swimming, scrambling, discovering, marvelling and enjoying!

  By sailing boat, we discover the diversity of the Norwegian coastal landscape of Lofoten. With the focus on the experience and less on the difficulty of the climbing tours, we climb on selected walls. We are happy to accept a longer hike for the approach, on foot we have the opportunity to discover the wild and rugged nature of the Lofoten Islands. The kayaks help us to get ashore. We also use the kayaks to take a break, the calm water in the fjords invites us to go kayaking in the morning. These moments are very special. Often shrouded in mist, the landscape, the sea and nature awaken from the short night.

  Our guests and the experience take centre stage for us, together we make this trip unforgettable!

  Climbing:

  Traditionally, as much as possible in Norway is secured with mobile belay devices such as friends and wedges. However, there are also countless well-secured routes at all levels of difficulty. Our focus is on movement and the experience. We look for the right route for you, climb it together and enjoy nature and the experience. The view while climbing multi-pitch routes in Lofoten is breathtaking and hard to explain, you have to experience it for yourself! We love climbing, but we are aware that there is much more to discover than "just" the climbing walls of Lofoten.

  Hiking:

  Anchoring a sailing boat in a lonely fjord and then travelling ashore in a kayak and dinghy to start a day's adventure together.

  Kayak and stand up paddle:

  There are SUPs and kayaks on the sailing boat, which we can use as and when we feel like it and let the energy of the sea carry us along! Alone or in small groups, we can take a break from the sailing boat and the group and paddle ashore, for example to read a book or explore the bay or enjoy the sunrise or sunset
