We begin by kayaking toward Austdalsbreen (glacier) front. Calving ice from this glacier leaves us with floating icebergs as we kayak across Styggevatnet (lake). After the kayaking, enjoy lunch with this idyllic view before walking on the glacier. We offer small trips so that everyone gets plenty of time to enjoy all of the features of this stunning glacier.
What's Included
Meeting and pickup
We meet the travelers at the Breheimsenteret Visitors Center, where the Ice Troll guide will be waiting. The guide will escort them to the activity location. After the activity, travelers can choose to return on their own if they wish to explore the area and take pictures.
What to expect
Once the lake has defrosted, we begin the kayaking tours. It is about one and a half hours paddling over to Austdalsbreen (glacier) with its 30m-high front that calves towers of ice into the lake. On the way, we look for icebergs that have calved off the glacier from the days before. After kayaking, we stop for some lunch, enjoying the view across the front of the glacier.
We then start the glacier hike on the blue ice at the glacier front, walking around huge crevasses toward the centre of the glacier for a commanding view over the lake and the Jostedalsbreen National Park. We spend about one and a half to two hours on the glacier, exploring and explaining various features of this natural marvel. After the glacier tour, we walk back to the kayaks for our return to civilisation.
For young families, we would recommend our purpose-designed Glacier Half Day tour.
