Luppioberget climbing takes place on bulletproof granit, characterized by crimping on horizontal cracks and rounded slopers. At times, holds are few and apart. Routes are mostly shortish, 15m being the longest but about 10m typical. Some of the trad routes can be even shorter.
Best quality climbing can be found on sport routes at 6c-7b+ grades. Typically the routes have distinctive powerful cruxes, some requiring precise technical sequences to be solved. In the lower grades, routes are slabs or vertical. Those looking for overhangs find decent selection of routes at Hänkkisektori. Most of the sport climbing routes are on the east side of the hill which means shade in the afternoon.
Trad routes follow the same character as sport climbing: short and often with some tricky cruxes requiring strength. For a beginner there are nice short cracks to practice crack climbing skills on granit. For more advanced practitioners, some good quality cracks lines are available (Tøye och bøye den gamle kroppen 6a, Luppiohalkeama 6a+) as well as a harder testpiece (Sideways 7a).
Routes are mostly on top of the hill and the scenery down to Tornioriver valley is beautiful. The place is popular amongst the local hikers especially during the weekends.
A new hotel at Luppioberget started operating at the end of 2021. Hotel restaurant serves coffee, lunch and fine dining. Climbers are welcome too !
Note: there is a separate 27crags topo for Luppioberget bouldering routes
