Best climbing in March

March is the best month for ice climbing in Rjukan, with long days, perfect temperatures and tons of ice. In general there are also less climbers in the area which means easier access to the classic ice routes.

March is also a great time to combine the climbing holiday with cross-country or alpine skiing. The skiing from Gaustatoppen is at its best from mid March throughout May. Cross-country skiing at Hardangervidda in spring is just amazing, and we recommend to squeeze in a day or two of skiing when you visit Rjukan in March.
