I recently joined Klatreakademiet to develop my skills in traditional (TRAD) climbing and had an amazing experience. We climbed the front side of Svolværgeita, Gandalfveggen, and several other fantastic locations.The local guides are highly experienced and great at creating a fantastic learning environment. If you are planning to climb or ski in Lofoten, this is definitely the company to use. I highly recommend them! Thank’s to Vegard and Håvard

The guiding was outstanding from start to finish - professional, relaxed, and always focused on our safety. I felt completely safe and well looked after throughout the entire tour. Our guide’s experience, calm attitude, and passion for the mountains turned the climb into an unforgettable experience. The breathtaking views, excellent organization, and the overall atmosphere made it a truly amazing adventure. If you’re planning to climb Svolværgeita, this is the company to go with. Thank you for an incredible experience - we would book with you again anytime! Best regards Jan

Litt skummelt i starten, men det gikk fort over siden instruktøren vår, Vegard, var rolig og forklarte ting godt. 10/10 anbefaler det. Fikk lyst til å klatre mer ute nå.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I did the Svolværgeita climb with Vegard, and he made it so seamless! I had no climbing experience at all, but Vegard was patient enough for us to take our time in the climb, ensured to tell us all about the safety and gave tips on how to climb the tough parts! I would definitely recommend them and would definitely come again for future climbs :)!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. To utrolig lærerike uker på Ski- og skredakademiet i Lofoten. Dyktige og engasjerte guider delte masse kunnskap om snø, skred og trygge veivalg i fjellet. Samtidig fikk vi oppleve fantastisk natur og mange flotte skiturer. Kan virkelig anbefales til alle som vil bli tryggere på ski i vinterfjellet.⛷️
