Mountain climbing in Norway

Mountains and climbing routes are waiting to be investigated. Åndalsnes is where you will find one of the several larger climbing centres. For those looking to learn the art of climbing, there are courses offered by the Norwegian Trekking Association (DNT) through its mountain sport groups.

Show respect

Some local enthusiasts also organise courses for people who want to try something new. For the experienced climber there is ample opportunity to set out alone. Trollveggen is a good example. Just remember to respect the mountains and make sure that you have good enough equipment with you, remembering that the weather can change suddenly.

The Norwegian Climbing Federation is first and foremost an organisation for Norwegian members only, but they are willing to supply information to non-members. You can contact The Norwegian Climbing Federation by e-mail: klatring@klatring.no
