Rock climbing

Nissedal as a climbing area was discovered mainly by german climbers in the late 80’s. During the 90’s, Nissedal became ever more popular among norwegian, swedish and danish climbers. Today, the area is one of the most visited in Norway. Here you will find more than 20 different mountain areas with lovely smooth and rugged rock climbing on hard granite of all degrees of difficulty. Most of the routs are easily accessible. I addition, you will find fantastic bouldering challenges, especially near Hægefjell. Today, people are climbing in Nissedal almost all year. During winter, you can find ice trails (see Norsk Klatring des. 2000). Starting in 2017, Nissedal will be hosting a climbers’ festival in august!

Summit hiking – Hægefjell

One of the highest peaks in Nissedal of 1022 mosl.

Norwegian and german climbers discovered the unique mountains in Nissedal in the late 80’s. The majestic Hægefjell has for the last 20 years become one of the visited climbing mountains in Norway, with about 50 different routs in all degrees of difficulty. One of the most widely known routs for unexperienced climbers can be found here: Via Lara. Participants of the norwegian TV show “71 Grader Nord” attempted this precise route in 2010. Along the first part of the route, there are large rocks. They are used for climbing or bouldering, as it is called when you climb on boulders and rocks without climbing gear.
