If you are looking for ice climbing some fun single pitch ice climbing and mixed climbing routes in Norway, then you should check out Golsjuvet in Hemsedal!

Golsjuvet near Hemsedal in Norway offers plenty of ice climbing ranging from WI3 to WI6 and mixed climbing up to M10. Golsjuvet near Hemsedal in Norway is situated in the riverbed about 2 km north of the village of Gol.

You approach Golsjuvet by driving up the Valdresvegen, and at the first right-hand hairpin take the left turn down a single track road. Follow this for about 1.5km running along the river until you start seeing the ice through the trees. Here there will be a small parking lot to your right. There is a turnpike where you have to pay a toll of 30 Norwegian kroner. When you cross the river make sure the ice is frozen solid. It is quite easy breaking through the ice if it is not solid enough, and the currents are strong! There is a small bridge about 80 meters north of the parking lot, where you can cross the river, and then abseil back down at the ice field. There are chained anchors here. Use them!

The ice climbing at Golsjuvet near Hemsedal in Norway change from season to season, but we ice climbed Normalveien at WI4, Trapp at WI4 and gave Ta i et Takk, a shot, which would normally be a mixed route at M6, but as the top was formed, we climbed the route at around WI5.

Compared to Rjukan also in Norway Hemsedal offers some really great climbs too. Golsjuvet actually resembles Krokan in Rjukan very much, so if you have been ice climbing there, then Golsjuvet feels familiar. The ice climbing routes at Golsjuvet are a bit longer than Krokan in Norway, though.
