Romsdalsstigen Via Ferrata

Ein toller Klettersteig der einiges an Nervenkitzel bereithält. Die kürzere der beiden Routen (100NOK p.P.) hat uns etwa 2,25 Stunden gefordert. Als Sport-Kletterer hatten wir hier eine Menge Spaß. Neben der guten Sicherung hat uns ein atemberaubender Ausblick überzeugt.Aus meiner Sicht sollten Personen ohne jegliche Erfahrung hier auf einen Guide zurückgreifen, da einige Passagen doch schon sehr intensiv gewesen sind.Der Abstieg ist wenigstens genauso abenteuerlich wie der Klettersteig an sich. Insgesamt kann man mit 4 - 5 Stunden für den Anstieg, Klettersteig und Abstieg rechnen.Parkplätze gibt es nicht direkt am Steig. Mit etwas Glück findet man einen am Straßenrand, ansonsten werden Parkplätze in der Umgebung empfohlen.

The Romsdalsstigen West Wall is a fun challenge for experienced via ferrata/rock climbers. If you can climb 5.9 in the gym and 5.8 outdoors and have above average physical conditioning and stamina you can do it. Took us 2 hours 45min from the end of the pavement to the gondola but we were NOT in a group and didn’t get stuck behind anyone. I suspect this could truly take the 5-6 hours the website claims in a group.Things to know:-There is no parking at the start and the start is 1.2 miles from the gondola ($350 NOK) which you most likely want to take down after the via ferrata. If possible have someone drop you off at the start of the via ferrata to skip a long walk through town.-There is a decent amount of very steep uphill climbing at the start and in between sections of the via ferrata which was the most difficult part for my husband who is a better climber than me-I could see the via ferrata being difficult if you are shorter than 5ft 4in. There were many sections where I could just barely reach the next clip or hold. If you are shorter I recommend you be a better climber than stated above and be able to use the natural rock more-This via ferrata uses a lot of traditional metal bars/rings/foot holds. There are some brief sections that rely more on natural rock-There are several (I think 4) overhangs that were challenging but have very good holds. You need a little extra upper body strength to get over them-This was fun even on a misty day and kept the wall cooler. You can always take the gondola back up another sunny day and hike the ridge to get the view!

Helt rå via ferrata og tur opplevelse! Var vått i veggen når jeg klatra der rett etter regn, så var noen partier som var litt seige. Bedre å vente til veggen tørker. Kan anbefales på det sterkeste

Fantastisk tur, kan anbefales på det varmeste!

Nice via ferrata route. Challenging, airy points but fun. Gain some experience before you go there

Rå tur og flinke guider

Great fun on the Introveggen via ferrata. Despite the name, it offers enough challenges even for a seasoned sports climber and beautiful views. Highly recommended, especially if you don’t have climbing shoes. Can be quite slippery at the beginning because of wet walls.

Very nice via ferrata climb!I am pretty inexperienced with via ferratas (only did the very very easy one in geiranger before, which is probably „A“-rated and very short) but did a good amount of indoor climbin before and had a lot of fun with the Westwall („D“-rated). It is exhausting overall and difficult in some parts (3 short overhanging parts of 4-6 steps) but doable if you are sporty/physically fit.Took me around 15 minutes to hike from the starting point to the first climb, then 2.5 hours of climbing (not counting the 2 breaks of 10-15 minutes i made) and another 10 minutes to walk to the top of mountain where the restaurant is located.You need to be 100% comfortable with heights to do this climb!If you are not sure if you are good enough for this tour i would recommend to book a guide and/or take the intro-wall.
