Briksdal Glacier by Troll Car

Briksdal Glacier by Troll Car

Discover the breathtaking Briksdal Glacier, one of the many icy arms of Jostedalsbreen, Europe’s largest glacier. Cascading from 1,200 meters, Briksdal’s dramatic descent into the lush Briksdal Valley is a sight to behold.

Departing from Olden, your journey will take you past picturesque churches and the stunning Floren and Olden lakes. At the valley’s end lies Rustøen, where numerous waterfalls tumble from the ice field above. The road then ascends through serene woodlands, leading to Briksdal Fjellstova, a charming mountain lodge.

Here, you will board an open-air "Troll Car", which will take you on a scenic ride along a narrow road, crossing a rushing glacier stream and passing a powerful waterfall. Upon reaching the top of Briksdal Valley, take in the magnificent glacier views, framed by roaring waterfalls and towering peaks.

You will have time to walk to the glacier lake at the base of Briksdal Glacier or simply enjoy the spectacular surroundings from the vantage point.

After your visit, return to Briksdal Fjellstova, where a delightful cake buffet awaits before heading back to Olden.
