“We came to Norway in late off-season and this experience absolutely made our trip. We had a short (but admittedly steep) hike up the mountain and our host was more than happy to customize the itinerary to take full advantage of the history of the area. As for the rest of the evening – it is difficult to find words that correctly describe just how amazing it was. It was unlike any experience any of us have had before in the best possible way! Our host Richard was easy to talk to, knowledgeable, and made us feel safe and comfortable (and warm) the whole time.
Food was great with accommodation for dietary requests. The service was equally great and we didn’t need to lift a finger.
This experience is worth a detour on your trip! We all spoke only English and had no trouble with communication. Even if it rains (which it did for us in May) you will be comfortable, entertained and well cared for.
Thank you!!!”
“WHAT AN INCREDIBLE TIME!! After travelling around the world for nearly 7 months this was definitely the most unique and extraordinary highlight of my entire trip.
It was such a pleasure to have Esther as my host. It was so amazing to see someone who is so passionate and truly loves what they do. Thank you Esther for being you!
The cliff camping itself was an extremely fun and rare experience. It was very much an out-of-the-ordinary experience. I felt very safe and secure the entire time and it did not feel scary at all. Surprisingly, I slept very well and had a very restful night. Since then it’s been very fun discussing this experience with others. There are not many people in the world who get to do this, which makes it very special.
Overall, I had such an amazing time, especially as someone who loves new and novel experiences. Thank you Esther for being such an amazing host and making it all possible!”
Richard is an amazing host / guide !
We had a great and unique stay. It is a true experience that I recommend a 100%!
Richard is super welcoming and friendly: he has answered all our questions and provided us with all the information we need.
We were very comfortable, and always felt very safe.
Richard and Esther provided an amazing and unique experience, with combining nature, adventure and information. They have the knowledge and passion and a friendly approach towards clients which made spending the time with them a pleasure.
They were not just host, but rather great friends who happen to know how to maximize the nature experience.
My wife and I, did a Via Ferrata and Cliff camping in Sept 1st week of 2023. We were bit skeptical at first as there wasn’t much review and videos online, additionally they don’t have check-out page and transferring payment seems bit off. Nonetheless, we went on with booking, Angel was our guide and he was amazing, very knowledgeable about the history of Tyssedal and went above and beyond to make our experience memorable. My wife had no experience climbing and was very nervous, Angel was very patient with us and made us feel very safe. I’d highly recommend anyone with/without climbing experience to give it a shot and thank me later.
My wife and I were not sure what to expect from this trip, but we were really excited. The experience was even better than we had expected! Richard (our guide) was knowledgeable, polite, and a wonderful guide. We were given the history of the area, a tour of the old hydroelectric tunnels, a wonderful appetizer, camp dinner, and Norwegian breakfast with homegrown cherries (and another berry local to the area that I am forgetting). Richard even took some amazing pictures of us with his drone and was happy to share those photos/videos! Sleeping on the side of a cliff was a little scary, but Richard’s calm presence and guidance quieted my wife and my anxieties. We would definitely recommend this unique experience!
Our stay at the cliffside camp was incredible! Angel was an absolute pleasure and an attentive, caring and gracious host. We’ve never done anything like this and felt safe the entire time. It was truly a once in a lifetime experience. We definitely did not bring proper clothes for the weather so be sure to bring warm clothing and hiking attire is ideal. Thank you Angel for a fun, special experience – we would definitely come again!
