Trip details
Fly to Longyearbyen with SAS or Norwegian. From airport to Longyearbyen you can take taxi for 5 minutes. They will show up outside the airport and drive shuttle. The airport bus is also an option. Ice climbing is a fascinating winter sport that is attracting more and more people. Climbing frozen waterfalls takes you to beautiful winter landscapes that you would otherwise never get to see. Equipped with crampons and ice tools, you climb wild ice structures and are always secured by a rope. After the welcome and handing out of equipment, we will drive a few minutes to the icefall where we will be climbing today. There are both very easy and difficult routes right next to each other, which is why every participant will have an unforgettable experience on this day. After we have all put on our equipment, the guide will give you a safety briefing. Then off we go. The first attempts are made with assistance and under full supervision. We then climb, always secured in the top rope, until we run out of energy.
