Rjukan, .......................... the best North European iceclimbing area!

With more than 140 frozen waterfalls there is enough ice for starters and advanced climbers.
Rjukan has a long and stable winterseason, from december until the middle of April.
Rjukan is located in a narrow valley, ca. 20 km long; Almost all falls can be reached easy and quick,
from 5 til 30 min. walking distance from the main road.
From Rjukan Hytte- og Caravanpark 6 falls are reachable on foot.

With that many waterfalls there is no traffic jam.
