First-time Via Ferrata on the Intro Wall above Åndalsnes. All gear included, guided safety, and big views over Romsdalen.
“My wife's highlight of the trip! We had done a via feratta in Peru, so we had a pretty good idea of what we were getting into on this activity. Our expectations were surpassed entirely by Stian (the guide), the equipment, and the views. While it was tough (you have to be fit to do this comfortably), safety was never a concern. The cables, brackets, and anchors were in good shape, and I never felt any flex or give in them. My wife (and the pictures verify this) reports the views were amazing. I'm scared of heights, so I focused on the mountain and, with Stain's help, was able to…”

“It was a really fun and great experience! Too bad we didn’t get to buy the pictures and videos that were taken, cause there was some kind of error with the files. So we didn’t get to show off the excitement to our friends and family. But overall really nice and fun experience and tour guides.”
