CLIMBING ROMSDALSHORN
The ultra classic in Romsdalen and one of the "big three" in Norway together with Store Skagsstølstind and Stetind.
Make sure to climb it with safety - use a certified IFMGA Mountain Guide.
Climbing Romsdalshorn with Nordvall Mountain Guiding!
When you see Romsdalshorn from the valley floor all you want is to reach it´s top – it´s one of the most famous summits in the whole country for a good reason!
You have come to the right place if you want a secure, professional experience to reach this famous peak.
We will choose between the ”Normal way” through Halls Renne or the ”Nordveggen” – depending on the conditions and our interests for the day. Both routes offer a beautiful way up the mountain, but with very different characteristics.
Climbing Nordveggen to Romsdalshorn
The tour starts at the end of the valley ”Vengedalen” a short drive from Åndalsnes. We’ll begin by approaching along a steep but very beautiful trail leading us to a ridge with great spots to look over the Romsdal valley.
As we progress along the ridge, we’ll reach the ”Gap”, the start point where we’ll prepare for the technical rope work that lies ahead. This will take us about 1 to 1,5hours .
While the initial 100 meters involve relatively easy scrambling, the terrain gradually steepens, necessitating pitch climbing and climbing up to grade 4 (Norwegian) to reach the summit. Expect around six -seven pitches, covering approximately 250 meters of ascent.
The climbing is steep but never diffiucult, just where you want a hold – there is a hold!
After about 2 hours of climbing you will be on the top – looking over the infamous Troll Wall, the Romsdalen Valley and you can now say that you have climbed Romsdalshorn!
Repelling down
For our descent, we’ll use basically the same route we ascended, rappelling safely back down in 5 rapells.
Level and Recommendations
Although the overall altitude gain is moderate at about 800 meters, a significant portion of the ascent involves rope work in exposed terrain. Therefore, prior experience with heights and mountaineering is strongly recommended.
Typically, we start our adventure at 07:00, and the entire journey can take between 6-8 hours.
