Fjærland

Fjærland is the area surrounding a branch of the Sognefjord, close to the Jostedalsbreen - the largest glacier on mainland Europe. From Fjærland you have easy access to the glacierswith a car or public transportation. Here you also find the Norwegian Glacier Museum, the Norwegian Book Town and the historical Hotel Mundal, built in 1891.

Fjærland has 300 inhabitants, and is part of Sogndal municipality. The centre in Fjærland is Mundal, a 3 km drive from the main road, alongside the fjord. Most people in Fjærland are engaged in farming and tourism.

The glaciers Bøyabreen and Supphellebreen come down to the valley floor in Fjærland. These are branches of Jostedalsbreen - the largest glacier on the European continent (487 km²). The ice in the ice falls of the glaciers is gliding down the mountain side with a speed of 2 metres per day - among the fastest in Norway. Supphellebreen, at an elevation of 60 m, is the lowest lying glacier in Southern Norway.
