Sølvskatten - More exposure. More challenge.

Sølvskatten - More exposure. More challenge.

Sølvskatten is Rampen's more challenging Via Ferrata in Bodø - a 2.5-hour guided climb with steeper, more exposed sections and a short overhang, requiring previous Via Ferrata experience.

Sølvskatten is the more challenging of our two Via Ferrata routes, with steeper and more exposed sections and a short overhang above the Norwegian Sea.

Sølvskatten is designed for guests who have tried Via Ferrata before and want to take the experience one step further. Expect more exposure, steeper sections, more physical climbing and a short overhang. Sølvskatten is a step up from Vikingveggen, but it is still a guided Via Ferrata experience rather than an expert-level climbing route.

  • Requires prior Via Ferrata experience
  • Steep and exposed climbing sections
  • Short overhang finish
  • All safety equipment included

About the area

Sølvskatten climbs above Landegofjorden, with wide-open views towards Landegode, the surrounding islands and the Norwegian Sea. The combination of exposed rock, sea and mountains gives the route a dramatic coastal setting just outside Bodø.

The experience takes approximately 2 hours from start to finish, including preparation, climbing and the return. Along the way, you move across exposed sections of the mountain with the fjord directly below – a spectacular setting for one of Rampen's more challenging via ferrata routes.

For groups looking for more challenge

Sølvskatten is a good choice for groups who have tried Via Ferrata before and want a more exposed and physical experience than Vikingveggen. Max 6 people per guide.

Combine Vikingveggen and Sølvskatten in one visit – start with the beginner route and continue with the more challenging route.
