What you can expect

Begin your tour with a 15-minute boat trip over Styggevatnet (lake) to Austdalsbreen (glacier). Drive around icebergs and then up to the glacier front, with its 30-meter high terminal that descends into the lake from the Jostedalsbreen Icecap above. See towers of ice calving into the lake from the glacier front.

Once the boat is safely anchored, walk up to the front of the glacier for an unforgettable glacier hike in this Norwegian wilderness, lasting 1.5 to 2 hours. Austdalsbreen (glacier) is very easy to walk on, but it is what you see while walking on the glacier that is truly amazing.

Walk amongst the myriad crevasses across the front of the glacier and stand atop this natural wonder.
