| NOTICE:
There are changes in timetables for the Glacier Bus for 2011, causing problems 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.
The Glacier
Bus runs Sogndal to Nigardsbreen and back
every day, from Sogndal at 08.35 and back
from Nigardsbreen / Breheimsenteret at
15.15 every day and 18.35 every day except Saturday. 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!
