Info

This is it. The most technical glacier section in an adventure race, ever. The Svartisen Glacier section begins with a technical mountaineering that will challenge many teams. Teams will locate CPs 26 - CP28. The glacier section itself will be an epic adventure with more than 600m of fixed rope and a full safety unit in place to provide guidance to teams through this technical glacier loop. Mikael Nordström loves this section, with incredible views if teams have good conditions.
