Leaving Skjolden behind, you'll experience a varied landscape on a panoramic drive along Sognefjord, surrounded by lush green views. Then, ascend through the Jostedal Valley with its traditional agricultural scenery.
See how the landscape and terrain of Jostedal Glacier National Park have been shaped over the years by the ice and rivers. Jostedal Glacier is the largest ice field in mainland Norway and is a remnant of the last major Ice Age, some 18,000 years ago.
Situated at the foot of Nigardsbreen Glacier is the Breheim Glacier Center, covering the National Park with exhibits, a souvenir shop, a café and a view of Nigardsbreen Glacier in the distance.
Notes:
Tour route travels through several short tunnels. The glacier has retreated in the last year and may therefore differ from images previously seen. The Nigardsbeen Glacier can be seen from the Breheim Glacier Center; however, due to the withdrawal it is now located at some distance. Children under the age of 3 must be secured in a child's car seat on the transportation. These are not available through the tour operator; you must bring your own from home.
