- Briksdal Glacier
Be sure to read the Special Notes further down this page for important requirements and restriction.
Repeated Ice Ages sculpted out a landscape that could be considered an awe-inspiring work of art. Nowhere is this feat of nature more beautifully realized than the Briksdal Glacier. Come face-to-face with its rugged beauty beginning with a coach ride through the beautiful Olden Valley with its majestic mountains, glacier tongues, waterfalls and the green Olden Lake. Once you reach the quaint Briksdal Inn, you'll board a small, open-air buggy called a Troll Car that will take you 550 yards from the Briksdal Glacier. Be at one with nature as you walk to the glacier and photograph its many shades of blue and turquoise before walking back to the Troll Cars for the return journey to the Briksdal Inn where refreshments of coffee, tea and cakes will be served. Enjoy browsing the Inn's souvenir shop before boarding the coach back to Olden.
Special Notes:
Note: The walk to the Glacier from the troll cars will take approximately 15 minutes over some steep, uneven terrain. The troll cars are not covered and will operate in the event of rain. Please wear comfortable, enclosed walking shoes and carry a bottle of water and a warm waterproof jacket. Please heed the warning signs erected near the Glacier and do not venture beyond the safety barriers. The Glacier is not visible from the refreshment venue. This tour involves tunnels.Details
