Romsdalsstigen Via Ferrata
Romsdalsstigen
A via ferrata along the cliffs of Nesaksla, with a suspension bridge and hanging ladders, and the option to take the gondola down from the summit.
The Romsdalsstigen Via Ferrata starts at the edge of Åndalsnes and climbs the steep face of Nesaksla. It has several routes graded by difficulty, passing iron rungs, steel cables and a suspension bridge across a deep gorge. The finish is near the gondola summit station at about 700 meters (2,300 feet). The full route takes about 3 to 5 hours, and you can see the fjord and town as you climb. Anyone without experience should join a guided group, which provides a harness and helmet and costs from about NOK 1,000 to 1,500. After reaching the top, you can ride the Romsdalen Gondola back down.
