{b}Spend the night in a hanging tent above the fjord{/b}

The hike to your accommodation is a beautiful little path that takes you around 1h and opens up to spectacular glacier views. Once you reach camp, your guide will show you around the area. You then have time to enjoy this beautiful piece of Norwegian nature and take a wander around.

A typical Norwegian outdoor dinner is prepared at camp and served in our shelter with wooden benches and table or by the bonfire – depending on the weather conditions. You spend the evening with stories and amazing views before you climb down into your tent hanging on the cliff side 400m above Sørfjorden overlooking Folgefonna Glacier. You can either choose to climb down the rope ladder or abseil into your portaledge tent, your guide will assist and secure you. 

During the night you lie comfortably snuggled up in your warm sleeping bag. For safety reasons you keep your climbing harness on throughout the night, they are very thin though so you hardly feel them. We provide you with a radio that you can use to call your guide with in case you need to get out of the tent throughout the night. If the weather allows it, you can choose to leave the tent uncovered in order to gaze at the endless sky above you while falling asleep with the soundscape of the majestic mountains around you.

After your night out in the wilderness, your guide prepares a nice breakfast for you before you hike back down into civilization.

The so-called portaledge tents were developed by professional climbers for multi-day climbs.
Since you are accompanied by an experienced guide, you don’t need prior climbing experience – just a good sense of adventure!


{b}Optional add-on:{/b}
Instead of hiking up to the cliff camp, we also offer the option to climb Tyssedal Via Ferrata which starts by the fjord with a visit of the Norwegian Museum of Hydropower and Industry. The via ferrata leads you up the mountain along the massive penstocks that were built over 100 years ago - a great way to learn about the local history and get a real feeling for the height while climbing up.
You can add this option at checkout.

We had an awesome experience that we are unlikely to ever forget. We took the tyssedal via ferrata to get to camp, where we were greeted by our guide Richard. He was a really chill, and knowledgeable guide, and really fun to chat with. After a tour of the historical hydro facility we got the first taste of our portaledge, where we had the best view you can possibly imagine. It's quite a surreal image which is hard to explain with words, and photos don't do the real thing justice. Richard cooked us a very lovely dinner, and we chatted for a while before having a short hike around. Then we went back to the portaledge and enjoyed the view for the remainder of our night.

10/10 would definitely recommend !

Oh and the next morning we got fresh coffee, what else could you want

Håvestøl NaturCamp 

Ever heard of Cliff Camping? Where people sleep in a hanging tent suspended on a cliff high up in the air? Maybe too extreme for you? 

As our new unique place to stay, we have created a Cliff Camping light version for all those, who would like to get that little thrill and excitement of sleeping up in the air without being afraid all night. 

Suspended just about 2m above the ground on a sunny balcony above the fjord, you get to sleep in a very comfortable and unqie type of hammock that is attached to the rock. 
The so-called portaledge tents were initially invented by professional climbers to be used on multi-day big wall climbs. We want to make this experience accessible for everyone who would like to get a taste of this extreme type of camping. 

The small campground in Fresvik, just 20 minutes from the starting point of Trolltunga and the city centre of Odda, offers incredible views over the Hardangerfjord and Folgefonna Glacier on the other side. A small path leads down to the fjord where you can chill in the sunshine, take a swim in the refreshing water, or try your luck at fishing. 
The campground possesses a small container building with sinks, toilets, showers, a washing machine, and a water boiler. Next to your camp you can find a seating area where you can also make a bonfire if it's not too dry, please check the Norwegian weather forecast on yr.no to see if there's a fire ban. If in doubt, just reach out to us. 

You are welcome to bring all camping equipment (sleeping bags etc.) yourself or you can rent what ever you need on the check-out page.

Bli med på en spektakulær opplevelse – helt utenom det vanlige. Overnatt i sørveggen av Røggjin (1370 moh) og opplev Skandinavias Alper på en måte du aldri før har gjort.

Skysleeping tilbyr en komplett og unik opplevelse i naturen, inkludert guiding og overnatting i portaledge – et klatretelt som festes i fjellveggen.

Bli med oss på en spektakulær Via Ferrata-tur til Røggjin og nyt den magiske utsikten fra ditt helt eget klatretelt i fjellveggen. 

Våre kompetente og erfarne guider blir med på eventyret fra start til slutt, og sørger hele veien for din sikkerhet og for å gi deg flotte naturopplevelser.

Turen starter kl 18:00 med oppmøte langs Holdeskarvegen. Herifra går vi felles i rolig tempo  i rundt 45 minutter opp til veggen hvor teltene henger. 

Ved selve fjellveggen får du en grundig introduksjon til klatringen og sikkerheten knyttet til overnattingen. 
Guidene tilrettelegger slik at alle kan ha en god opplevelse, uavhengig av forkunnskaper. 

- Turen passer for alle som er i fysisk form til å gå 45 minutter inn til fjellveggen

- Vi har 13 års aldersgrense på våre arrangement, personer under 18 år må sove i telt med en voksen.

- Alkohol er ikke tillatt i teltet.

Skysleepings guider stiller med sikkerhetsutstyret som trengs for å gjennomføre turen på en trygg måte. Og teltene er utstyrt med komfortable liggeunderlag for en behagelig overnatting. 

Likevel kreves det noe personlig basisutstyr for å være med:

- Sovepose egnet for en overnatting i fjellet
- Klær for et døgn utendørs, gjerne lue og tynne votter om det skulle bli kjølig på natten
- Snaks og litt drikke
- Kamera, dette er en overnatting det er verdt å dokumentere!
