The word "Via ferrata" means railway. An iron wire is attached to the mountain, and it is in this that you secure yourself while climbing. Via ferrata is for everyone, and experienced guides will take you up safely and securely.
In Hemsedal we have two different via ferrata trips. Both start at Skarsnuten Hotel and end at Vesle Røgjin, but the routes split along the way.
Original route
Suitable for everyone from 12 years and up who wants a steep mountain hike with a little extra. No prior knowledge is required here. The route is grade B, with a couple of points grade C. Duration: 3-4 hours
The South Wall
New route that opened in the summer of 2021. This is a slightly longer and more demanding trip than the Original route. The route has a common start with the original route and eventually enters Sørveggen. Suitable for you who have climbed via ferrata before or have other climbing experience, 12 years and up. The route is graded degree D / C. Duration: 3.5-4.5 hours
Renting of equipment
It is also possible to rent via equipment and go on your own if you have experience from via ferrata.
