Description
Grab your once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for a safe and true ice climbing experience, conveniently.
Meet your ice climbing guide at the meeting point in Pyhä, get equipped, hike only 10 minutes and get the ice climbing going at the Tajukangas Ice Fall. The Bliss Adventure guide will instruct you the proper ice climbing technique. Then it's your turn to show some adventurous spirit and determination. Whack your axes in the ice and climb up!
By the Tajukangas ice climbing shrine you will enjoy not only climbing in beautiful environment but also a bonfire and some hot berry beverages keeping you warm during the little breaks. All the climbers will get two proper climbs up the ice wall reaching above 20 meters. The higher you climb the better the views get!
