Quick Details
EXPERIENCE ICE CLIMBING IN NORWAY
The Moulin & Ice Climbing Tour is the perfect way to get into glacier climbing while exploring the glacier like never before. Our aim for the day is to teach you the basics of climbing on ice and then lower you into a moulin (waterhole/cave), or crevasse in the glacier for a truly blue-ice experience.
We have scouted four glaciers to find the best location for your tour, so we are sure to have great scenery, crevasses, moulins (water holes) and walls of ice for the day’s fun. The trip is for four people maximum per guide, so you can maximise your time on and in the ice on your glacier climbing trip.
As with all of the Icetroll trips we offer, it is not necessary to be an athlete for this tour, you should just have an interest in trying a new activity and taking your chance to get into the glacier more than you ever could in a day tour elsewhere. Beginners are more than welcome, as are children, but we can’t offer a discount on the price (we are sorry!) because of the low number of people per guide.
If you have an interest in this, just ask us and we can chat about your options. We have ice climbing gear, so all you need to bring is the usual outdoor clothing for your trip (including waterproof clothing, sunglasses, and gloves!).
We can’t wait to see you out on the ice! Book your trip today.
