{b}Spend the night in a hanging tent above the fjord{/b}

The hike to your accommodation is a beautiful little path that takes you around 1h and opens up to spectacular glacier views. Once you reach camp, your guide will show you around the area. You then have time to enjoy this beautiful piece of Norwegian nature and take a wander around.

A typical Norwegian outdoor dinner is prepared at camp and served in our shelter with wooden benches and table or by the bonfire – depending on the weather conditions. You spend the evening with stories and amazing views before you climb down into your tent hanging on the cliff side 400m above Sørfjorden overlooking Folgefonna Glacier. You can either choose to climb down the rope ladder or abseil into your portaledge tent, your guide will assist and secure you. 

During the night you lie comfortably snuggled up in your warm sleeping bag. For safety reasons you keep your climbing harness on throughout the night, they are very thin though so you hardly feel them. We provide you with a radio that you can use to call your guide with in case you need to get out of the tent throughout the night. If the weather allows it, you can choose to leave the tent uncovered in order to gaze at the endless sky above you while falling asleep with the soundscape of the majestic mountains around you.

After your night out in the wilderness, your guide prepares a nice breakfast for you before you hike back down into civilization.

The so-called portaledge tents were developed by professional climbers for multi-day climbs.
Since you are accompanied by an experienced guide, you don’t need prior climbing experience – just a good sense of adventure!


{b}Optional add-on:{/b}
Instead of hiking up to the cliff camp, we also offer the option to climb Tyssedal Via Ferrata which starts by the fjord with a visit of the Norwegian Museum of Hydropower and Industry. The via ferrata leads you up the mountain along the massive penstocks that were built over 100 years ago - a great way to learn about the local history and get a real feeling for the height while climbing up.
You can add this option at checkout.

We had an awesome experience that we are unlikely to ever forget. We took the tyssedal via ferrata to get to camp, where we were greeted by our guide Richard. He was a really chill, and knowledgeable guide, and really fun to chat with. After a tour of the historical hydro facility we got the first taste of our portaledge, where we had the best view you can possibly imagine. It's quite a surreal image which is hard to explain with words, and photos don't do the real thing justice. Richard cooked us a very lovely dinner, and we chatted for a while before having a short hike around. Then we went back to the portaledge and enjoyed the view for the remainder of our night.

10/10 would definitely recommend !

Oh and the next morning we got fresh coffee, what else could you want

Nydelig og herlig sted for å slappe av og nyte en liten del av en road-trip. Veldig bra tilrettelagt av verten Lene.   

Koselig gapahuk med nydelig utsikt! Alt sto til forventningene. Veldig god service som gjorde opplevelsen enda bedre:) Ble også tipset av verten om tur-muligheter i området, utsiktsplassen anbefales!

Strålende beliggenhet og vert som var enkel å kommunisere med.
