If you want to challenge yourself a little, together with good friends or family, this is something for you. This is climbing for everyone and there is no requirement for prior climbing experience.
Climbing the Munkstigen via ferrata climbing path is an exciting adventure that makes it tickle your stomach and gives you a fantastic nature experience from sea to summit. From here you will get a panoramic view of Trondheim, large parts of The fjord of Trondheim and the surrounding areas. The climbing path is located just off county road 755, between Vanvikan and Leksvik.
The via ferrata opened in August 1998 is Norway’s oldest via ferrata, and was Northern Europe’s longest with its 950 meters for many years. The trip takes an average of about 3-5 hours, and it is up to you whether you take it as a training trip or use as much time as you wish and enjoy the view in more depth. This is an awesome trip for teams, associations, work colleagues, school classes, student groups, bachelor parties, sports groups, etc.
