Via ferrata Bodø: Vikingveggen for beginners
You climb a via ferrata with a guide, safely, high above the Norwegian Sea. You don't need experience, just a taste for adventure.
Vikingveggen is made for people trying a via ferrata for the first time. You climb along steel cables and iron handholds, at your own pace. An experienced guide makes sure everyone feels safe. On the way you look out over the Nordland coast, and you get used to heights and climbing in an accessible way.
