The incredible floating staircase 800 meters high that has just been inaugurated in Norway and “is not for the faint of heart”

A new tourist attraction in Norway promises unrivaled experiences and views that will take your breath away. Of course, it is not for everyone. Only the bravest will be able to venture to these incredible rewards.

In the town of Loen, in the Nordfjord region, a floating ladder called Stigull. It has 120 steps and has a 45 degree angle. In addition, it measures 40 meters long and is located 800 meters high.

“Most people’s legs may shake a little,” Per Helge Bø, COO of Loen Active, the company behind Stigull, told CNN Travel, clarifying that “it’s not for the faint of heart”.

But don’t get discouraged. Those who cannot or do not want to get on will be able to enjoy the views that the ladder creates. “From the Gjølmunne suspension bridge in Loen, it looks as if there are people floating in the air,” said Helge Bø.

This staircase can only be climbed climbers who have already partially ascended the via ferrata towards the top of Mount Hoven de Loen. Therefore, those who reach the starting point will already be quite high.

Via ferrata is an Italian term that translates as “iron path” and is used to describe climbing trails where there are steel cables and ladders to climb. help to climbers.

“If you dare to look around you, you will be able to see the spectacular landscape of the fjords and their majestic peaks, with the huge cliff and the narrow gorge right next to you,” said Helge Bø.

All climbers go clinging to a cablewhich guarantees the safety of each one, and the creators ensure that the ascent of the steps is not difficult.

This experience can be done with or without guide, depending on experience level. Prices for guided climbing start at 1,695 Norwegian krone (about $160) for adults. Children 12 and older can also participate in guided tours for 1,535 Norwegian krone (about $145).

At the bottom of the ladder is the big reward: the top of Mount Hoven, where there are amazing views, and a restaurant to eat something delicious.

Furthermore, as the road is very tiring, there is a cable car to return to the city.

But for those who want more adventures, you can do other activities such as kayaking, stand up paddle or go on a zip line.
