At the heart of Nordland County, in the geographic middle of Norway, is the friendly town of Mosjøen. On Storfjellet, right near Øyfjellet just outside town center, is Northern Norway’s most spectacular zip-line.
Fly from a perch 70 metres up Storfjellet, savouring a bird’s eye view of the historic Sjøgata Street and the town’s environs, and soar over the Vefsna river before landing safely in the beautiful gardens of Fru Haugans Hotel, the oldest hotel in Northern Norway.
Before takeoff, Hi North secures your body harness to the strong wire. An automatic braking system ensures a safe airborne adventure! And one of the guides is always on hand – for both your take-off and landing. Minimum age: 10 years, min. weight: 30 kg (66 lbs) and max. weight 110 kg (242 lbs).
What do I need to keep in mind?
It’s important that you place all loose items in zippered pockets or in your backpack. If you want to use a camera, it must be tied or otherwise securely attached to your body, harness or helmet. If you have long hair, it should be tied back with a hair band or elastic.
Booking, and when and where to meet up
Your zipline ticket must be booked in advance. Your ticket is valid for one hour; e.g., if your booking is for 1pm, you have to take your zipline ride by 2pm. Please note: If you intend first to hike the mountain, this must be agreed to in advance.
Meet up at Hi North’s office at Ytterøra 23, just outside the center of Mosjøen.
From about 19 June to 15 August, Mosjøen zipline is open every day from 10.00 – 18.00. Before and after these times, it is open on weekends and by pre-ordering at least 10 participants as long as the weather is justifiable.
In Mosjøen zipline there is a 10-year age limit and you must weigh at least 30 kg. There is a maximum limit of 110 kg. It is also pointed out that alcohol can not be enjoyed before or during the activity.
Welcome to Mosjøen
Mosjøen, the oldest town in Helgeland, is situated at the foot of Øyfjellet, where the rivers Vefsna and Skjerva join and flow into the Vefsnfjord.
