History.


For more than 100 years, tourists have been taken by horse and two-wheeled cart in Oldedalen.
The ride became very popular and members of most of the royal families of Europe have been carried thus by horse and cart.

In 2003, a new means of transport to Briksdal was offered :"The Troll car".
It has greater capacity than the carts and can take many more tourists in towards the famouse glacier
The trip starts at Briksdalsbre Fjellstove and follow 3 km of roads to the Briksdal Glacier.The road climbs another 200 m above sea level from the starting point to the front of the Glacier.
