Mt. Stetind - the Normal route

Guided climbing trip:

Stetind is not only named Norway's national mountain, but it is also a monument in Norwegian mountaineering history. The mountain was first climbed as far back as in 1910, an achievement that is impressive enough in itself.

To climb the original route on Stetind, it requires that you are fit, as a long hike awaits you. The trip is not for those with the greatest fear of heights, one must dare to go beyond your own comfort zone on this trip.
