From the arrival very well received by our guide. anessa (I hope I'm not mistaken on the name!) very friendly and in addition speaks in French also, we could fully enjoy the activity. We've taken a lot of pictures. That was really great. I highly recommend especially for our guide

It was amazing, we had a lot of fun Staff is really good and friendly As you think the climbing is super hard, they teach you the technique very well and you do it really good by yourself

Such a nice experience in beautiful Pyha! Everything is well explained and atmosphere is chill. You can climb 2 times whichever line you want and they are very patient with you :) Never done ice climbing before but I already want to repeat this experience! It was really wonderful. Special thanks to cool guides: Inessa, Susanna, Jeppe and Reidar! :)

We tried ice climbing as a family (48, 48, 18, 15). My wife in particular was skeptical about whether she could do it and master it. But all worry was in vain, we all quite excellently climbed up the frozen waterfall - great experience. The guides of Bliss were super nice and helpful - already in the selection of clothes. Shoes, helmet and climbing utensils are provided. No walk over the ski slopes and we were already at the waterfall. Good instruction on how ice climbing works and off we went. Always 4 people at the same time and each individually secured by a guide. Lots of helpful information and continuous coaching when climbing. All in English, of course, but quite easy to understand. Great activity - was a lot of fun and was rounded off by a delicious hot juice. Thank you Bliss!

I had an amazing trip with Bliss (booked via Much Better Adventures). Great accommodation in the lodge, lots of nice food and an excellent experience trying ice climbing for the first time. Many thanks to our brilliant guides, the beautiful Inessa with her passion for oddly-shaped trees and her insights into Finnish culture, and Jeppe providing skilled climbing guidance and entertaining us on the drives with Mexican music and philosophical musings.

We had an amazing time, what a great experience. All of the guides were very friendly, helpful and encouraging. They taught us how to ice climb and encouraged us to go to the top and not give up. They had hot tea and a fire for us to warm up while we rested between climbs.

We were picked up by Jeppe and he accompanied us the whole time. There were only two of us, so in peace and relaxation we could do this activity. We have experienced Jeppe as a very nice, relaxed, positive and driven supervisor. He respected choices you made (don't you want to go on? Totally good and you get a compliment for what you did). My partner made it to the top and I took a few steps, which has been a nice experience for both of us! We definitely recommend this activity!
