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
