The Wall of Witches – powerful, fun and moderate

Hornelen Via Ferrata welcomes you to the Wall of Witches, a guided tour on the lower half of mighty Hornelen. First you climb the introduction wall, where you will get to know the equipment and how it works, test the grips and challenge gravity.

Further on, we will climb the powerful and steep Wall of Witches until we reach Smalsarhuken, a shelter where we can eat our lunch and enjoy the view in good company. Here you can dry your sweat as well as feel te power of accomplishment! This trip does not end up on top of Hornelen, and it is not possible to continue to the top on foot.

Follow the return trial back to Basecamp. This is the trip for you if you are in shape, have tried Via Ferrata or climbing before, want to challenge your fear of heights and have a nice experience in nature with amazing views over the fjord. This trip takes about 6 hours from start to finish.

The route is graded to a C/D, and offers horizontal and vertical parts, both going up and down. There are also overhanging sections, which ups the difficulty. One should be prepared to hang on one arm to clip the carabiners in some spots.
