Breheimsenteret Visitors Centre
The Breheimsenteret Visitors Centre, 34km up the valley from Lustrafjord, has a display that tells how glaciers were formed and how they sculpt the landscape. There's also a 20-minute film on the area and an exhibit on the girl Jostedalsrypa, the only villager to survive the Black Death. It also carries a worthwhile free pamphlet, Walking in Jostedal, that describes five short (one- to 2½-hour) walks.

Fees for the two-hour (around NOK370), three-hour (around NOK450) and five-hour (NOK650) walks on the ice include the brief boat trip across Nigardsvatnet lake.
