Ice Climbing in Rjukan

All you need to know about Rjukan Ice Climbing, Rjuakn accommodation and Rjukan weather. Rjukan is better known as the Telemark region of Norway, Scandinavia.

For Rjukan ice climbing the best way to get to Rjukan is by Flying to Torp Airport near Oslo. I used Ryanair to book a cheap flight but any airline will do and then its about a 3 hour drive to Rjukan itself. Its quite difficult to find it at night so a GPS helps a lot. Watch the roads as you would expect very icy even with studded tyres. My accommodation in Rjukan was a nice little cabin right in the centre.

Rjukan is the centre of Tinn municipality in Telemark, Norway. It was recorded on 1 January 2005 as having a population of 3,568 inhabitants. Rjukan has a long history of tourism. Tourists has come to the narrow walley for over a century. The Rjukanfossen waterfall is a famous landmark in Norway, and has been portrayed by several famous artists. The area has good terrain for ice climbing, snowboarding and skiing, and the town is a good starting point for hiking on the Hardangervidda plateau.   In the 1860s, Krokan by the Rjukan waterfall was Norwegian Mountain Touring Association's (DNT) first hut. The waterfall was later harnessed for hydropower production and the hut was sold. Today it is re-opened, situated by the main road from Rjukan (Tinn) to Vinje. In later years Rjukan has become famous for its possibilities for ice climbing. The season is long, from November to April and the waterfalls are many and varied.
