Feel the excitement of climbing coastal cliffs on Tjøme, with views across the archipelago and Færder National Park. Via Ferrata Tjøme combines natural rock climbing, six abseiling descents and a zipline finale. With instruction provided and different route options, you can choose challenges suited to your experience.
Climb using natural rock holds
Unlike many traditional via ferrata routes, this course does not use iron steps fixed into the rock. Instead, you climb using natural rock holds, with a fixed safety cable providing protection and support. The route takes you across coastal rocks, gullies and steep sections of cliff. Some sections offer easier alternatives, while more experienced climbers can take on additional challenges.
Six abseils and a zipline finale
The experience includes six abseiling descents along the coastal cliffs. Experienced instructors teach you the techniques and provide guidance throughout the activity. The adventure finishes with a zipline ride. Combining climbing, abseiling and a zipline makes this a varied outdoor experience, even if you've climbed before.
Suitable for first-time via ferrata climbers
Previous via ferrata experience is not required. All participants receive instruction in safety equipment, climbing and abseiling techniques. Once the instructors are satisfied that you can use the equipment safely, you can complete parts of the route at your own pace. Guides remain available during the activity, and all participants must join through the operator's organised sessions. You'll need to be comfortable with heights and meet the operator's age, weight and safety requirements.
