Waterfall Rappelling

The Trip

After gearing up at the Rafting Centre we will drive 15 minutes to the Skjervefossen Kiosk Car park.  The Kiosk is situated at the top of the mighty waterfall and it's all downhill from there!

You will be briefed on safety and instructed in the proper use of the rappelling equipment.  Even though you take control of you descent you will be secured by a belayed safety system controlled by the guide.

The total descent consists of 2 main rappels and a warm-up:- The warm-up is short and easy, used to make sure everyone is happy using the equipment.  The first main descent is 30m to a ledge area before the final 70 meter descent.  In normal water levels you will be barely meters from the cascading water.  You will be blown and showered by winds created by the fall, eventually landing in landing pool below.

There shall be refreshments at the bottom and eventually a short ride will bring you back to heated floors and showered of the rafting Centre.  You may be able to view and purchase photos from the trip and refreshments in the Årestove restaurant, or sink into your pre-booked Hot Tubs!

You don't need previous climbing-experience, but if you are really be frightened by heights this may not be the activity for you.  Don't think you have tried rappelling before you have done this!
