Briksdalsbreen

Things to do in Briksdalsbreen

  1. Oldedalen Skyss

    Oldedalen Skyss has 'troll cars', vehicles like giant golfing carts (around NOK170 per person), to transport you the 5km to the Briksdal glacier face. From their turnaround point, there's still a 15-minute hike on a rough path to see the ice. To breathe up close in the glacier's face, take a guided trip in an inflatable dinghy. Dinghies, operated by Briksdal Adventure, depart hourly in summer. We strongly recommend advance reservation for both troll cars and dinghies as places are often snapped up by tour groups.
