Overview
The village of Olden is situated at the end of the innermost arm of lovely Nordfjord, which cuts its way inland to the mighty ice fields of Europe’s largest glacier, the Josterdal Glacier. Your destination on this tour - Briksdal Glacier - is part of the Jostedal National Park.
Leaving Olden’s port we will pass two picturesque churches and the beautiful lakes of Floren and Olden. At the end of the valley lies Rustøen, which is surrounded by numerous waterfalls, tumbling from the ice field.
The road ascends through woodlands to the Briksdalen Inn, where we'll leave the transportation. The powerful Briksdal Glacier swoops down from a height of 1200m to the lush, narrow Briksdal Valley and when we arrive at Briksdal Fjellstove, the 'Troll cars' will be waiting to take you safely to where the road ends at the famous glacier.
The Troll cars trip crosses the foaming glacier stream twice. We will then return to Briksdal Fjellstove, which has been the meeting place for hillwalkers and mountaineers in Briksdal for several generations.
At the end of the visit to Briksdal, we will make our way back to the cruise port in plenty of time for your cruise ship's departure.
