Fast-flowing and frothing waters running over huge rocks and through tight gorges can quickly become addictive, and many rafters have Norwegian rivers on their whitewater bucket list. Several of the rivers require a certain degree of technical expertise, while other trips are more family-friendly through calmer rapids. The Sjoa River in Oppland county has perhaps the most famous rafting offering in Norway.

This is the tour that made rafting popular and well-known in Norway. This is a varied tour of the Sjoa’s most popular rafting stretch with everything from exciting rapids to stunning scenery and awesome surf waves. The trip comes with a smooth start and a refreshing finish. The tour ends by paddling into our camp. Participants are equipped with wetsuits, neoprene shoes, helmet, lifejacket.

Our experienced and nice guides will take you down the rapids safely, with a lot of fun and excitement all the way. You will raft through all the well-known rapids such as Microsurfen, Golfstrømmen, Høystakkene, Sjokoladejuvet, ByeByeBaby, and Faukstad-fall. We will take a break halfway through, with a warm porridge, salad, and bread at the lunch place on the bank of the river. We also light a campfire and make coffee before taking on the last part of Sjoa. In total, we raft about 15 km, depending on the water level. We end this lively and sensational trip with a hot lunch and a warm shower at the base.

Bridge Swinging

Bridge swinging is an adrenaline driving experience where we jump off high suspension bridges secured by climbing ropes and gear. Participants are equipped with a full body climbing harness. The rope is fixed at the middle of the bridge, while the jumper walks towards the end of the bridge pulling the rope tight before jumping off, this allows for the jump to be a smooth pendulum.

If you decide to jump you will climb over the railings and have a moment or two to contemplate life before making the leap. The rush diving off the bridge towards the water below is mindblowing. Will you dare to take the plunge?
