The Nigardsbreen Ice Cave, aka the Blue Lagoon
Winter is coming soon, and the spectacular ice-cave under the Nigardsbreen glacier is again the main highlight of Jostedalen. The blue lagoon was fantastic last winter. See a collection of videos HERE. Check later for more news on the ice-cave.

New National Park in Jostedal:
The Breheimen National Park is now established. Our prime minister Jens Stoltenberg opened the new park on Friday August 14. That means that Jostedalen valley now is surrounded by National Parks: The Jostedalsbreen and the new Breheimen. See video. See map of Jostedalen between two National Parks.

See also: 30 years ago, on August 14, 1979, Jostedalen experienced the worst flooding in centuries. See rare video from 1979.

Melting glaciers? Yes, many of the glacier arms of the Jostedalsbreen National Park are melting away. The good news is that Nigardsbreen and the other glacier arms in the Jostedalen valley are so big and have such a big volume that the melting is very slow. So if you want to see a glacier still worth seeing, come to Jostedalen.

Breheimsenteret is a National Park Visitor's Center at the entrance of the Jostedal Glacier National Park. The glacier and the park have their names from the Jostedalen Valley. The Nigard Glacier is the easiest accessible arm of the main glacier. In August a new National Park was established on the eastern side of the Jostedal valley. This park is called Breheimen National Park. (about the park, only in Norwegian at the moment).
That means that Jostedalen will be a long, narrow valley between two wonderful national parks. A good position to be in. A good place to visit.

In the Center you can visit our museum, a thrilling experience, and who knows, you might just learn something too!
We also do all the booking for the Jostedal activities.
We also have a souvenirs shop, with sweaters, jackets, T-shirts and postcards. And of course genaral tourist information for the Sognefjord region.
Our lunch restaurant is perfect for a break in between exciting experinces in unspoiled nature. For tour operators: We have several group offers. Please email jostedal@jostedal.com.
Do you have kids? They'll love the Children's Climbing Room, within the cafeteria. And of course we have free wireless connection to the Internet.
And most of the very exciting outdoor activities in Jostedal are booked in the Breheimsenteret.
