Glacier Walking

An encounter with the glacier on a trip to its edge or a wander through the ice maze is often the highlight of a Sognefjord trip. The traditional blue ice walks are not hard or physically demanding, but the route through the blue ice landscape (with towers, pinnacles and crevasses), is not flat and in some parts it climbs quite steep up and down. Thererfore you should be used to walk on an easy mountain path. 

Also for children

In Jostedalen Valley at Nigardsbreen Glacier you can go glacier walking with children from the age of eight. The feeling of adventure is already present on the ferry crossing over the Nigardsbreen lake - 285 metres above sea level - as you look towards the exciting icescape.

In Jostedalen by Nigardsbreen, Austdalsbreen and Tunsbergsdalsbreen you can join a glacier hike with or without children, walk Josten along and visit the two national park centers The Norwegian Glacier Museum in Fjærland and Breheimsenteret in Jostedal
