Description

Recently developed area with bathing facilites. Here you can find a canoe and bathing dock, beach, barbecue area, benches, waste disposal, and a restroom. A popular outdoor area for both individuals and larger groups.

🪨 The bouldering at Skogvannet in Alta offers climbs in difficulty from very easy 4s to hard 7A+, with several unclimbed and undiscovered routes and boulders. Most of the boulders follow the hiking trails, and are thus easy to access by foot or bicycle.

🏕️ Skogvannet is a great place for both camping by vehicle, tents and hammocks. Bring a steel brush if you wish to create new lines. Its also advised to bring mosquito oil or netting during summer season.

👪 The area is frequented by families, hikers and others all year around. Show courtesy when camping and visiting the area, and dispose of your own litter in designated areas.

History

Little known climbing activity before 2023. However, the area has been used recreationally by the local community for several decades. Kenneth Einvik published the first potentional boulder in 2015, and Martin Andreas Paulsen established the crag in 2023. The first harder 7A/V6-7 lines were added during the summer of 2024 by the German climbers Michel, and Sebastian Sieburg.
