Via ferrata Sølvskatten in Bodø: higher, steeper, harder
Of our two via ferrata routes, Sølvskatten is the tougher one. The climbing is steeper and more exposed, with a short overhang above the Norwegian Sea along the way.
This route is meant for people who have done a via ferrata before and want more. You get more height, steeper sections, more physical climbing and a short overhang. Compared with Vikingveggen it is a clear step up. It is still a guided via ferrata, though, not a climbing route for experts.
What sets this route apart
Harder climbing
You climb higher, steeper and with more effort. The short overhang makes for an exciting finish.
A view you have to earn
The view from Sølvskatten is even more dramatic than from Vikingveggen. The moment on top, just after the overhang, stays with you.
