Challenging glacier hike with top-rope ice climbing!
If you would like to experience a more challenging glacier hike, join this long glacier hike including top-rope ice climbing on the blue ice of Nigardsbreen.
In a small group of max. 6 people, we explore the most spectacular parts of the Nigardsbreen Glacier, and as a coronation, we climb an almost vertical ice wall or rappel into a crevasse and climb out again, well-secured under expert guidance.
