NOTICE:
There are changes in timetables for the Glacier Bus for 2012, making connections better for the Balestrand/Vik region.
With help of The Glacier Bus you can get from anywhere in the Sognefjord region to the exciting adventures of the Jostedalsbreen Glacier National Park and back. You can visit the Breheimsenteret Glacier Museum, you can enjoy a guided hike on the Nigardsbreen Glacier, or simply take a closer look at the glacier without actually stepping onto it.
Notice also: After the fire in 2011, Breheimsenteret will have good temporary solutions for 2012, both with activity bookings and restaurant facilities. The new Breheimsenteret will be ready for 2013.

The Glacier Bus runs Sogndal to Nigardsbreen and back every day, from Sogndal at 08.45 and back from Nigardsbreen / Breheimsenteret to Sogndal at 17.00 every day. Please find your timetables to the left.

The Jostedal Glacier is, with its almost 500 square kilometers, the largest glacier on the european mainland. All of the glacier, and also some of the nearby valleys, is protected as a National Park.

One of the most spectacular and also easiest accessable of the many glacier arms is the Nigardsbreen Glacier. In front of the glacier there's a small lake, which can be crossed onboard the passenger boat "M/S Jostedalsrypa".
And on the ice itself the Jostedalen Glacier Guides will bring you safely through the labyrinths of icetowers and crevasses.

Minimun age for the shortest hike is 6 years, and 12 years for the others. There are several to choose from. Please read more about the glacier and the hikes .

Icetroll Glacier Lake Kayaking and Riverpig Glacier River Rafting offer daily adventures on lakes, rivers and glaciers in Jostedalen. Tickets are available at Breheimsenteret. Have a look at the websites and pick your favorite.

So, join the Glacier Bus to this iceblue adventure in the heart of norwegian nature!
