Once you reach camp, your guide will show you around the area. You then have time to just enjoy this beautiful piece of Norwegian nature and take a wander around. Dinner is prepared in camp and served by the bonfire – if the weather allows it. You spend the evening with good stories and amazing views before you get into your hammock that gently rocks you to sleep.
After a beautiful evening and night out in the wilderness, you will be served breakfast before you pack up and hike back to civilization..
The steep mountains, waterfalls and wild rivers have made Norway the land of hydropower. This ad-on experience to your trip will give you a unique insight into how the story of hydropower started. You get to witness the extreme heights and conditions in which the pioneer workers built the hydropower constructions more than 100 years ago.
On the Tyssedal Via Ferrata, we follow the footsteps of the “rallarane”, the construction workers.
The tour starts with a visit of the “Power Museum”, the Norwegian Museum of Hydropower. The beautiful historic building gives you an idea of the importance of this project, which was not only a game-changer for the entire region, but for all of Norway.
After the museum visit, our adventure truly begins. We climb up the via ferrata route that follows the five massive penstocks that transported the water from the mountain into the old hydropower station. The higher you climb, the better your view gets over the scenic Sorfjord, which is part of the Hardangerfjord and the Folgefonna National Park. Tyssedal Via Ferrata is the perfect combination of fun, action, history and incredible views.
