Join us on this 4-hour excursion to the amazing Briksdal Glacier. After driving through the small village of Olden, we continue on our way to Briksdal. We drive through the Olden Valley, passing the beautiful Olden Lake. When our bus reaches the Briksdal Inn, you can start the hike towards Briksdal Glacier, which is one of many arms of the famous Jostedal Glacier.
The hike up to Briksdal Glacier takes you through a beautiful scenery surrounded by waterfalls and mountains. Finally, you will reach the viewpoint at the lake of the glacier. The first part of the hike is the hardest, and it gets gradually easier. The walk to the glacier normally takes around 45-60 minutes.

Took the coach through Olden, up through the valley of picturesque lakes, green pastures and pretty houses to Briksdal glacier. The terminus is effectively a visitor centre with 2 cafés, shops, toilets etc. We hired a “troll car” - a big chauffeured open buggy - to take us 75% of the way. The walk is lovely but steep. Then went up to the bottom of the glacier where meltwater enters the raging stream. The views all around are spectacular.

Our excursion to the Glacier was perfect! We met our tour operator Elisabet right at the terminal. We took a very comfortable bus to the base of the glacier where we then hiked for about 45 mins to the glacier. The walk was not too strenuous and very beautiful. Elisabet was very knowledgeable and ensured that we had a very enjoyable experience. I would highly recommend this tour with Elisabet!!

Beautiful hike. Be prepared for hills by layering. You will get warm, but up top it’s cold by the glacier.
