With a total area of more than 480km square kilometers, Jostedal Glacier consists of many "arms", and one of the most beautiful is Nigardsbreen. We are going to get instructions and all the needed equipment and then start the glacier hike with our guide.
Important notes for Glacier Hiking:
- The participants should be reasonably sure-footed. For people without any hiking experience on mountain trails, the trip can be a bit tiring.

The glacier moves according to weather conditions year by year. Thus, the approach to the glacier is either by 1-2 hr hike or by boat, depending on the weather conditions.

Extra activities that are still available during the trip are paid in Euro.
Norway trips have focus on outdoor activities, and you will be walking a lot during the day. Nature is rocky and sometimes you will need to climb small hills to get nice views. Our tour managers are trying to choose easier levels of trails to fit most of our passengers, but if your physical level is very low, you might get very tired in the evening. It is important to have proper clothing as the weather can change quickly - from sunshine to pouring rain and strong wind. If you prefer to wear soft sneakers, your feet would hurt form rocky uneven surface, and get easily wet. This might make the hikes less enjoyable.
You can travel with:
• 1x 15kg luggage to store in the bus trunk; and
• 1x small backpack to take with you during the bus ride.
