Breheimsenteret
is the gateway to the Jostedal Glacier National Park. It is a visitor's center, and the museum and the are really worth taking a closer look at.
The Glacier Bus arrives at the center at 10.10, and leaves for the glacier at 12.00. You will have time for it all, even to shop in the souvenirs section, and have a good meal in cafeteria before heading for the glacier.
The tickets for the glacier hike you buy in the center. Find out what hike you will join, and get your ticket early.

The museum tells you everything you need to know about the glacier, the nature history behind the glacier, and also about the life of the people living close to the glacier.
The glacier is actually growing by several meters each year, despite global warming; or more correct: due to global warming!

There is also a section telling about daily life today, in the villages and farms close to the glacier. And the film, on a big screen in the auditorium, takes you outexploring the amazing nature of the glacier, the Sognefjord, and the Jotunheimen mountains.

There's also a lunch restaurant in the center, serving warm and cold meals. The restaurant also has a wonderful terrace with the most spectacular view towards the glacier. Imagine enjoying a cold beer after a adventurous hike on the glacier!

Glacier Lake Kayaking
Have you seen pictures from the Antarctic, with huge icebergs floating in the sea, and the enormous ice shelf in the back?
This is in fact possible to see in Jostedalen.
Just sign up for a day's adventure with the Icetroll glacier lake kayaking. You will not only see the icebergs, you will paddle among them, and if you're lucky, even see big chunks of ice falling from the glacier front.

But of course, you cannot do everything in one short day. So why don't you spend the night in Jostedalen, and really enjoy all of these spectacular experiences described above?
The Glacier Bus ticket is valid for several days, so just check out the accomodation.
