Guided Troll Car Tour in Briksdal Glacier

Join us on an unforgettable journey to the beautiful Briksdal Glacier, beginning right from the Port of Olden. Settle into the shuttle bus and enjoy a relaxing 45-minute drive through one of Norway’s most breathtaking valleys, where towering mountains, cascading waterfalls, crystal-clear lakes, and charming traditional architecture create a picture-perfect landscape. Upon arrival in Briksdal, your guided Troll Car adventure begins. The Troll Car takes you close to the glacier, stopping about 700 meters away, where you will then enjoy a pleasant walk into the Jostedal Glacier National Park. The trail begins with a short uphill stretch before leveling out, offering comfortable walking conditions and several benches along the way. The scenery is extraordinary, and you will have many opportunities to capture memorable photos. You can also visit the local souvenir shop featuring regional handicrafts or take a moment to enjoy refreshments at the nearby restaurant before continuing your experience.

The Troll Car ride itself lasts around 10–15 minutes each way, seating up to seven passengers and offering impressive viewpoints of the Briksdal Glacier throughout the journey. At the glacier area, you will have approximately 45 minutes to explore, walk, and enjoy the majestic surroundings, or simply relax on the benches if you prefer not to walk the entire distance. A local guide accompanies the tour, sharing helpful information and ensuring a smooth and enjoyable experience from beginning to end. Meeting point instructions are simple: after leaving your cruise ship, you will find Olden Adventure staff waiting just outside the security gate to direct you to your designated bus. Continuous service runs throughout the day while the cruise ship is in port, making this a convenient, scenic, and enriching excursion for all visitors.
