Europe’s highest

Mount Hornelen is the highest sea cliff in Europe, and is worth a visit in itself. Fjords, mountains and Lake Frøysjøen compete for your gaze, and you won’t get any closer than when you climb the wall yourself!

Historical climbing route

The saga of Olav Trygvasson tells that he climbed the steep wall at Mount Hornelen, and many therefore think that he established the first climbing route in Norway here. Now you have the chance to climb in his footsteps, albeit under slightly more controlled conditions.

Full and half

Hornelen Via Ferrata offers multiple tours, with several daily departures. The Wall of Witches takes you up halfway, while Olavsrute goes all the way to the top! Here is something for anyone feeling sporty and adventurous!
