Europe’s highest

Mount Hornelen is the highest sea cliff in Europe, and is worth a visit in itself. Fjord, mountain and sea fight for your attention, 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.

Hornelen Via Ferrata offers multiple triplengths, with several daily departures. The half day trips go up The Witches Wall and The Eagle’s Side, which is the first part of the route, and Olavsroute which takes you all the way to the top. Here is something for anyone feeling sporty and adventurous! It is only allowed to climb Hornelen Via Ferrata with a guide.
