About us
Rampen offers spectacular experiences in stunning nature. We create unique, high-quality year-round experiences, taking you on adventures in the spectacular Arctic nature – no matter the season.
Our story started with a passion for nature and adventure.
The idea of creating something exceptional in the heart of Nordland began to take shape. With boldness and a vision to offer spectacular experiences, we initiated the dialogue with Bodø Municipality. Together we wanted to establish a unique climbing facility that could enrich the region and give people an opportunity to challenge themselves in a safe and exciting way.
We wanted to write new chapters in the Rampen adventure, and therefore expanded our offer on land and water with RIB tours, guided hikes and rappelling with untouched nature in the background.
Our team consists of dedicated individuals who are passionate about outdoor activities. We are proud to have experienced guides who welcome our guests with enthusiasm and professional knowledge. At Rampen, we place great emphasis on sustainability and short-distance tourism, and we want to create memorable experiences in harmony with nature.
Our employees
With a burning heart for Bodø and a love for 5-star experiences and hospitality culture, we create activities that make the trip worthwhile - and memories that last.
From the moment you first contact us until you return home from your experience, we are there for you. We make sure you are seen, cared for and inspired - whether you are visiting us for the first time or returning for more adventures.
We have one goal: to get you out in nature with Rampen - and let you experience the best of Bodø, at its most beautiful.
