Beginners are welcome on this ice climbing venture outside Abisko: get your crampons, harness, and helmet on and experience the Arctic at its icy coolest!

On this trip, you will get to discover ice climbing on an icefall outside Abisko. Your guide will pick you up directly from your accommodation, and from there it will be a short drive to your activity location. Once there, the guide will provide you with all the necessary ice climbing equipment, and give you a brief on how to climb vertical ice.

Once the instructions have been given, it will be your turn to get onto the ice and climb the 10 metre (32 feet) precipice! Get your core working on this icy Arctic venture, and enjoy unique views of the icefall and surrounding cliffs. On a clear day, you may even be able to see the Gate to Lapland!

Great fun, great instruction, great workout! Had all the gear we needed, and the spot is super close to town and not intimidating for a couple of first timers like us. Highly recommend!

Highly recommend this experience! The excursion was very well organized, and the climbing wall was close enough where we could climb a nice ice wall without having to travel outside of Abisko. I would definitely recommend this tour for anyone looking to try something fun and new!
