Romsåsen is located in scenic surroundings where you can experience both adrenaline and enjoy the tranquility of the forest!
The story becomes your experience!

Rappelling 20 meters down the main shaft
Do you take the challenge? The main shaft in the mine is 20 meters deep and runs between the upper and lower stools. Here you can rappel through a unique story -  the miners of the 19th century used this as a tippingplace to carry out the Nickel.. Down in the Ice Tunnel, there is often ice on the floor - and close to St.Hans (23rd. of june) the temperature rarely exceeds 5 degrees in the summer. Highly recommend warm clothing, good shoes and gloves. The skilled instructor guides you from top to bottom. Lower age limit 10 years. Upper weight limit 120 kg.
