Here, everyone who weights between 40-140kg has the chance to experience mountain climbing under the highest level of safety. No previous climbing experience is necessary, and only normal levels of fitness are required. Steel pegs and footholds have been fixed in place where natural footholds are lacking. Several hundred very strong steel anchor points have been drilled into Skuleberget's 250 metre high east face and 1300 metres of steel cable have then been pulled through these anchor points, which are divided into four graded routes of varying difficulty.
The equipment you hire from us consists of a climbing helmet, a climbing harness and a Y-shaped lanyard with two karabiners suitable for use on a Via Ferrata. You climb the mountain by holding onto the steel cable. Please note, the equipment requires a minimum weight for each climber of 40 kg with a maximum weight of 140 kg. Both karabiners must remain clipped to the cable whilst climbing, except when passing past an anchor point, when you unclip and re-attach only one karabiner at a time.
The routes are not designed for children so this places additional demands on accompanying adults. They should be completely confident with heights, and should look after children they accompany at all times, especially when moving karabiners. For a safe and secure climb, there is a maximum of one child under the age of 15 per accompanying adult.

MODERATELY DIFFICULT
HIGHEST GRADE OF DIFFICULTY: B
A Skule mountain classic and the obvious choice for those who have never tried a Via Ferrata or any other form of climbing before. The White Route follows a traditional climbing path with grades between 2 and 3 and seeks the simplest, most natural route up Skule mountain’s east face. The outing can be described as varied, with an interesting ‘spice mix’ of small climbing problems broken up by roomy ledges and shelves which provide excellent viewpoints/refreshment points. The climbing rarely gives a feeling of exposure, but still gives the sensation of being on a mountain face. The White Route needs no more than normal balance and flexibility together with a reasonable ability to cope with heights. There is a Trial section at the beginning which gives a good understanding of what is to follow.
DIFFICULT
HIGHEST GRADE OF DIFFICULTY: C
An exposed, prolonged and slightly technical Via Ferrata, which demands balance , some finesse and good footwork in order to get the most from it (rather than simply grinding your way up it). Those who simply rely on raw strength are going to have problems, likewise those who have a fear of heights. The Yellow Route is significantly harder and more exposed than the White Route, but somewhat easier than the Red. Unlike the Red Route the main difficulties come in unexposed positions, for example, immediately above a large ledge.
VERY DIFFICULT
HIGHEST GRADE OF DIFFICULTY: C/D
An exciting route which has somewhat the feel of an ’aerial circus’ about it. The climbing is steeper, harder and more exposed than the Yellow Route. After the initial slabs, the traverse out under the overhangs puts air under your heels. The crux of the route comes with the moves up through the overhangs, which are both airy and ruthlessly testing for those that have any fear of heights, and which especially mark this out as one of the most technically difficult sections. Even the following section is steep, if not quite so exposed. Unlike the Yellow Route, this route requires that you must be at least 160 cm in height (5 feet 3 inches) to have any chance of reaching the holds in the steepest sections.
EXTREME
HIGHEST GRADE OF DIFFICULTY: E
Like a serpent in paradise there it lies... the Black Route. In any event, this can be considered as Skule mountain’s most difficult Via Ferrata – by far. Not to be underestimated by the unwary. Nor to be caught out if the weather changes. The vertical line of the route means that it is tiring, especially for the arms. This applies especially to the 18 metre high slightly overhanging wall immediately above the starting point. Once you are past this, the crux is now behind you, but the difficulties are far from over. If it rains the conditions can become tricky. Retreating back down the aforementioned wall is not really an option. The Black Route is only recommended for those who have completed the Red Route without problems, or have experience of similarly graded climbs. For those that are ’ready’ for the Black Route, superb quality rock faces and an extraordinary Via Ferrata experience await. Climbers who have completed the Black Route have also shown that they have the necessary technical climbing skills to complete many of the most difficult Via Ferratas in the Alps.
We are just 2 kilometres north of Docksta. Take the turning to the naturum Höga Kusten.
