Via Ferrata Trogfjell

The tall, smooth side of the mountain Trogfjell is very characteristic and the landmark of the town Åmli.

The term Via Ferrata originates from Italian and means iron path. It is a fixed climbing route with iron sprouts that are attached to the rock. You are secured by a steel cable with a special via ferrata set.

The climb in Åmli consists of 300 of these iron sprouts and is 200m tall with a climbing distance of 240m.
