Blue-ice caves

About

Our glaciers hold a special secret during the cold months of winter.

With a guide, uncover the magical blue world under the Nigardsbreen glacier. Go explore an icy kingdom, in all shades of blue.

The journey starts at Jostedalen Hotel. On skis or snowshoes, we hike our way up to the very front of the glacier. Depending on weather and fitness level, the hike to the glacier can take an hour or more. Upon arrival, we take off our skis/snowshoes and have a bite to eat. After a quick snack, we continue our adventure and explore the caves.

It is a truly memerable experience!

Stay at the comfortable Jostedal Hotel, a base for fantastic winter adventures.
