Experience the most spectacular sights of the Nigardsbreen Glacier!
Experience the blue ice of the Nigardsbreen in a small group of max. 6 people before all the other tourists visit the glacier. We take the first boat across the Nigardsbreen Lake and experience a unique and quiet nature. As you know, early birds peck first…
In such a small group, you get good contact with the tour guide. He gladly answers questions about the glacier or the local history of Jostedalen and the Jostedalsbreen glacier. Before the tour begins, you are instructed thoroughly by the leader about the use of crampons, rope, ice ax, etc.

Please inform us by mail not telephone about the desired date, the desired start time between 09:45 – 12:00 and number of persons. If there still are vacant guides, will send you a booking link. The reservation is valid as soon as the tour is booked and paid.
