Set out from Bergen at 8:30 AM for a full-day English-guided trip with ferry rides, a gentle historic-road walk to Bondhus Glacier Lake, lunch in Rosendal, and Steinsdalsfossen. Guides such as Maria and Jan add local stories, while the 630-minute schedule covers a lot of western Norway.
“oh what an awesome day it was! I was a bit skeptical as the weather forecast was rain, but what we saw was so impressive, maybe even more with the rain. and the guide Jan and the driver were great, really making the experience even more memorable!”
Follow your guide from Labben to Nigardsbrevatnet, kayak across the glacial lake, then walk to Nigardsbreen for a two-hour crampon hike. Guides such as Tato, Marcelo, Darwin, and Nahir Leila have led groups with care and humor, but you need warm gear, lunch, and your own vehicle.
“We've spent a wonderful day rowing through the lake and then visiting the glacier. Our guide Tato is a very nice and kind person. He was very supportive as well as has huge knowledge about glaciers. Walking on this massive glacier is the experience we will never forget. I highly recommend this trip if you are somewhere neardby Jostedal.”
Start with a 30-minute kayak across a glacial lake, then walk 45 minutes to Nigardsbreen for a two-hour crampon hike. Guides including Kale, Marcelo, Tanya, and Bjørnar explain the ice, manage mixed abilities, and keep the pace calm and safe.
“Kale was an excellent guide! Great views from on top off the glacier. Being all the clothing they recommend. It can be cold up there.”
