Be sure to read the Special Notes further down this page for important requirements and restriction.

Settle into your comfortable motorcoach and leave Skjolden behind as you travel past diverse scenery from the fjord surrounded by lush emerald vegetation and dynamic mountain ranges to the pastoral landscapes of Jostedal Valley en route to Jostedal Glacier National Park, the largest ice field in mainland Norway and a remnant from the last ice age, some 18,000 years ago. You'll arrive at the modern Breheim Glacier Center, an information complex and a prime viewing spot to take in the beauty of the Nigardsbreen Glacier. Once inside, peruse exhibits and the souvenir shop all set against a backdrop of the glacier's splendor. Reboard the motorcoach for a scenic drive that continues on a private toll road leading to the Nigardsbreen Nature Reserve. Fill your camera with more images of the mighty Nigardsbreen Glacier.
