How to find us.
From Olden town centre, take the road leading to the Briksdal Glacier and
Briksdalsbre Fjellstove at the end of the road, 24 km into the Oldedalen valley
-
a lush, idyllic valley with lakes, rivers, waterfalls and huge mountains.
There is a view south towards the Melkevoll Glacier, an arm of the Jostedal
Glacier, but the Briksdal Glacier itself lies to the east and cannot be seen
from the road until you arrive at Briksdalen.
Turn left at Melkevoll Bretun and
drive for another 500m. Here you will find a car park for cars and buses next to
Briksdalsbre Fjellstove, which has a café, souvenir shop, Briksdal Breføring (glacier
and mountain guiding company) and trips in horse-drawn carriages.
You can either walk the last 3km from Briksdalsbre Fjellstove up to the Briksdal
Glacier or you can join the "Troll" car taxi (book in plenty of time). When you
are almost at the edge of the glacier, you enter the Jostedal Glacier National
Park and can either simply enjoy the sight of this gigantic glacier or join a
glacier trip onto the blue ice.
