I just wanted to add to the other reviews here some info I didn't know before I went: Aasgard is serious, not to be taken lightly! It would be more accurate to call it a 2000+ foot CLIMB, not a hike. You don't need advanced climbing skills, but be clear that you will need to use all four limbs, and a big dose of both bravery and athleticism to scale much of this rocky climb. If you fear heights, or are not in good shape, do not attempt this climb. I'm an decent shape 29 year old, and I made it, but was honestly nervous about the risks I was taking. This may be the shorter way in to the enchantments, but it is NOT kid or beginner friendly.
