Climbing and bouldering

At Bortelid, you have several options for climbing.
Kvitevatn
Up here, you will find three excellent routes for beginners. All routes have a top anchor and are for top-roping only. The wall has good holds and is located just 5 minutes from Kvitevatn, where there are great opportunities for swimming.
- Difficulty level: 3-4
- Height: 10 meters
Directions
Park at the ski center. Follow the DNT trail up the ski lift and past the red pump house. Continue for about 100 meters along the DNT trail. You will see the climbing wall on your right.
Walking time: 20 min
The climbing wall at Sletthei features seven top-rope routes. On the left side, there are two challenging projects graded 6 and 8-. Following these are five beginner-friendly routes at grade 3. On the left, the climbing is vertical to slightly overhanging. The five easier routes are all equipped with top anchors. The two projects only have two bolts at the top without chains or rings; you will need carabiners and slings to set up a top-rope anchor here. All routes are accessible from the top, but you should be belayed on the steepest ones.
Park at the ski center. Follow the old DNT trail towards Gaukhei. Note! After the first steep section, do not continue along the ski slope, but follow the old trail (on the left side of the ski slope). After about 600 m, you will cross a stream. Turn left (west) and follow the signs for FREM to Sletthei. From the first summit of Slettheia, you will find a depression located west of the peak. That is where the climbing wall is located.
Walking time: 40 min (uphill)
Stedjejuvet
Stedjejuvet has seven great routes for lead climbing. Every route has a top anchor, which means they can also be top-roped. Here you will find everything from slab to vertical climbing. The crag is located in the middle of Bortelid, ten minutes from the shop.
- Difficulty: 4+ to 6
- Height: 15-25m
Directions
Park by the shop. Take the path down towards the field (in extension of the illuminated trail). Turn left onto the gravel road, and after the first cabin, turn right. You will cross a small bridge. Follow the path to the right until the last cabin. You will see the climbing wall on your left.
Walking time: 10 min
