Jostedal

The kingdom of blue ice

Jostedalen, a tiny village full of grand adventures.

Driving up through the Jostedalen valley, it can sometimes feel like you are on the way to nowhere, but just as you prepare to turn around you see it. A tiny village on the skirts of Jostedalsbreen glacier, with a hotel, a campsite and with a large menu of activities.

Every season in Jostedalen has its charm. During summer, go for a walk on the Nigardsbreen glacier with the whole family and a guide, hike in the mountains or go river rafting.

Visit the Jostedal Glacier Visitors Centre to learn more about the Jostedalsbreen National Park.

During winter, try backcountry skiing, visit the blue ice caves with a guide, or simply enjoy a stay in a cosy and remote place.

Travel to Jostedalen and the Nigardsbreen glacier in an eco friendly way!

Jostedalsbreen Glacier

At 500 square kilometres, Jostedalsbreen is the largest glacier in mainland Europe. This gigantic mass of ice covers mountain peaks and deep valleys in the National Park and its spectacular arms of blue ice extend down to the lush valleys near our fjords. Many people are amazed when they realize how accessible these glacier arms are, and discover that it can be almost as warm by the ice as it is down by the fjord.
