Briksdal Glacier

Embark on an unforgettable 6-hour guided bus excursion from the Port of Nordfjordeid to the magnificent Briksdal Glacier, one of Norway’s most iconic natural attractions. The journey begins with a comfortable bus ride through the scenic Nordfjord region, following the famous Hornindal Lake and passing through lush valleys, picturesque villages, and cultural landscapes. Along the way, a knowledgeable local guide shares fascinating stories, historical insights, and interesting facts about the area, enriching your journey with both cultural and natural context. After approximately 1 hour and 45 minutes, you will arrive at Briksdalen, where the spectacular glacier plunges 1,200 meters into the narrow Briksdal Valley, offering breathtaking views that attract hundreds of thousands of visitors each year.

At Briksdal, you have approximately 2.5 hours to enjoy the glacier and its surroundings at your own pace. You can either walk the 3 km trail up to the glacier or use the “Troll Cars” for the ascent and walk back down, which is highly recommended for convenience and comfort. Once at the glacier, a short 500-meter walk takes you to the lake directly in front of the ice. Included in the excursion is a generous cake buffet and coffee at the Briksdalen cafeteria, with the option to purchase additional lunch, drinks, and souvenirs. After your visit, the bus returns along the same scenic route, with arrival back at Nordfjordeid port after approximately 6 hours. This tour offers a perfect combination of breathtaking natural scenery, comfortable transportation, and guided storytelling, providing an immersive and memorable experience of one of Norway’s most remarkable glaciers.
