5.00Incredible experience. We are so happy we did the premium ice climb with Reidar. He was a great teacher, giving me confidence where I didn’t have much but also making the experience feel so safe. We felt we had time to really learn and have several climbs to improve. It was incredibly fun. The other staff were also really lovely and knowledgeable but I definitely recommend the premium ice climb as you can really hone in and get advice on how to improve. I’m actually itching to go back. 10/10 experience. Thank you Reidar!
Could not have gone any better

5.00We did the premium iceclimb and it was great! Redar was very professional and also good company, he made the day even more enjoyable. We were really glad we booked the premium climb, as when the larger group had left, it was only myself, my girlfriend, and Redar, so we could choose any route up that we wanted to climb, and had much more time to rest between climbs, have berry juice, a pie, etc. I would thoroughly recommend this experience!
Tough climb. Awesome guides.

5.00Guides were friendly and gave positive reinforcement as I made my way to the top. This was my first ever ice climbing experience and I was nervous about it, but the guides were reassuring and helped me set up the harnesses and I felt safe the entire time. Took me forever to get to the top, but the guides were really patient with me.
Try before you die!

5.00I booked this having previously climbed in Iceland and Finland and it was a great half day. My instructor, Joonatan, was amazing, he offered really good tuition covering technical aspects that helped me to progress my climbing. It was the perfect safe learning environment to develop what I had learnt previously. I got in lots of climbing with there being 4 different routes, all with their own differing aspects to challenge you and make you think. I would recommend this to anyone who has previously done ice climbing but also to those who have never done it before but want more time on the ice to learn more than just the basics. Next time I’ll definitely be progressing out to the more technical stuff that Bliss Adventures do out near Posio with this having given me the confidence to do more and push myself more.
Super fun experience!

5.00We had a very fun and attentive guide, Inessa. We both had never tried ice climbing before but she was a great teacher. The campfire and hot berry juice was a nice addition. It is a good workout - your arms and legs will be tired!
Amazing Adventure!!
