  Activities:


Ice Lake Paddling

In the proximity of the Jostedalsbreen glacier there are several remote valleys with glacier lakes. Combine a glacier walk with a widerness experience and a kayak trip where you paddle between icebergs.

You get to the glacier center with private car (45 minutes) or with the Glacier Bus leaving Solvorn 09:05 every day. The bus returns to Solvorn 18:15.

Icetroll offers kayak and glacier hikes in these regions. The tours are designed for any ability. They are long day trips, so you should be prepared with a big lunch pack and good clothing fro being outdoor the whole day. But the tempo is relaxing, so you dont have to be in a particulary good physical shape. The trips are Highly reccomended!

These are the daytrips:

1. Styggevatnet Daytrip. 7,5 hours. 890 NOK. Early July- mid October.
Kayak paddle and glacier walk. Highlight: Kayak around icebergs
2. Styggevatnet Halfday. 4 hours. 890 NOK. Mid July- mid October. 
Boat trip and glacier walk. Designed for families.
3. Tunsbergdalsbreen Daytrip. 9 hours. 890 NOK. June- mid October.
Kayak paddle and glacier walk. Highlight: Hiking a Wild Gorge & Isolated Glacier
4. Nigardsbrevatnet Daytrip. 6 hours. 650 NOK. Late May- early July.
Kayak paddle and glacier walk. Highlight: longer glacier trip.

There is also several overnight trips.

Most of the daytrips can be reached with the glacier bus, but be aware that you may not reach the glacier bus on the way back. If so, you need to take a later bus from the glacier center that will not take you all the way down to Solvorn. You will have to walk the last three kilometers from the main road down to Eplet.
