Thrill-seekers can test their courage and bravery on a “stairway to heaven.” A new "floating" staircase hanging over a Norwegian fjord is the latest—and perhaps scariest—way to appreciate the country's unparalleled natural beauty.

The new Stigull staircase, almost 40m long, rises to a height of 790m, and it is the latest attraction for adrenaline junkies in the small town of Loen, located in northwestern Norway.

"For most people, it might make their legs shake," Helge Bø, operations manager at Løen Active, told CNN Travel. When viewed from the nearby Gjolmunne suspension bridge in Loen, "people appear to be floating in the air."

The 120-step staircase is the latest addition to Loen's adrenaline-fueled scene, part of the extensive via ferrata climbing route. "Iron trail" is a term used to describe climbing routes that use steel cables and fixed ladders to assist climbers.

The Stigull staircase, located at an angle of 45 degrees, is only accessible to climbers who have already partially climbed the via ferrata route to the summit of Mount Joven in Loen. This means that when you start climbing the stairs, you will already be quite high.

Pretty scary. But if you can handle the dizzying heights, Helge Bø promises the views are worth it—imagine glistening blue water framed by mountains and clouds.

And when you get to the top of Mount Joven, you'll be rewarded not only with stunning views, but also a restaurant where you can grab a bite to eat and a cable car that will take you back in five minutes.

Prices for a guided climb start at NOK 1,695 (about US$160) for adults. Children over 12 years old can also join these excursions for NOK 1,535 (about US$145).
