Nigardsbreen glacier walk

Nigardsbreen is an easy accessible glacier in the Jostedalsbreen national park.

Family friendly glacier trekking

To get here, you will drive through the spectacular landscape of fjords and mountains. You will meet your guide at the parking lot by the glacier. During the walk towards the glacier, the guide will talk about the history of the glacier and how the glaciers have formed the landscape we know today in the western part of Norway. When we are on the ice we will all use an ice axe, crampons and we will be attached to each other with a rope.

Minimum age 12 years.
