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.
The bus also takes you to Solvorn on the way, giving you the opportunity to see the Urnes Stave Church. The bus picks you up in the afternoon.

The Glacier Bus runs Sogndal to Nigardsbreen and back every day, from Sogndal at 08.45 and from Nigardsbreen / Breheimsenteret at 17.00 every day. Corresponding buses from all around the Sognefjord, like Flåm, Aurland, Lærdal and Balestrand, makes it possible to join no matter where you stay overnight. Please find your timetables to the left.
NOTICE! There are some exceptions for Saturdays and Sundays!

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