Norway 7 Summits — Where the Wild Mountains Call In the far reaches of Northern Europe, where glaciers carve deep scars into ancient granite and the sky dances with northern light, a bold adventure awaits — the Norway 7 Summits. This is not just a trek. It’s a journey into the soul of the mountains — a 7-peak odyssey across Norway’s highest and most sacred summits. From the ice-clad crown of Galdhøpiggen, the nation’s rooftop, to the jagged glory of Store Skagastølstind, every summit tells a story written in stone, silence, and storm. Led by legendary mountaineer Jason Black and his elite guiding team, you’ll move through landscapes where time slows — crossing snowfields under midnight sun, standing above cloud-filled valleys, and sleeping in remote alpine huts that echo with the footsteps of pioneers. Each day is a battle of will and wonder — knife-edge ridges, glacier crossings, and summit pushes that demand everything you have. And yet, amid the wildness, there is peace. A stillness that speaks. A reminder of how small we are — and how powerful we can become. This is Norway as few will ever know it. This is mountaineering at its purest. This is the Norway 7 Summits. Answer the call.

We had the most incredible experience during our 4 Peaks challenge with Jason and John as our mountain guides. Not only are they highly professional and knowledgeable, but they also bring so much fun, encouragement, and inspiration to the journey. Our Four Peak Challenge became more than just climbing mountains. It was a true lesson in leadership, teamwork, and spirit. They were supportive every step of the way and created an environment where we could challenge ourselves while feeling safe and motivated. I would highly recommend Jason, Black, and John to anyone looking for a full, enriching mountain experience. They are outstanding guides and leaders who make every climb unforgettable.

I was delighted to be part of a brilliant team recently who successfully took on and conquered the national Irish 4 peaks, with guidance and support throughout from Jason and John. Two highly experienced, professional guides who made the weekend so much fun, with plenty of teaching and learning moments, and very well organised. If you're thinking of doing any event, just book it! You won't regret it. We're signing up for 7 summits next 😂

Our family had a truly wonderful experience trekking to Everest Base Camp with Jason Black Mountaineering. From start to finish, the journey was exceptional. Jason and his team bring an incredible depth of knowledge and experience that goes far beyond words — their passion, professionalism, and care made us feel supported every step of the way. This trek wasn’t just a physical challenge; it became a spiritual journey for all of us. The mountains, the culture, and the shared moments along the trail helped us grow both physically and emotionally. Jason’s leadership created a space where we could push our limits, embrace the beauty of the Himalayas, and truly connect as a family. I wholeheartedly recommend Jason Black to all my friends, and we’re already looking forward to our next adventure with him!

My husband and I did Mt Toubkal with Jason Black Mountaineering in May. We couldn't recommend the company more. From Sharon's communication in the run up to the trip to Hassan's guiding on the mountain, we were impressed with all aspects. We will definitely be booking future trips with Jason Black.
