Small groups – early bird!
Experience the blue ice of the Nigardsbreen in a small group of max. 6 people. We take the first boat across the Nigardsbreen lake and experience a unique and quiet nature. As you know, early birds peck first…
In such a small group, you get good contact with the tour guide. He gladly answers questions about the glacier or the local history of Jostedalen and the Jostedalsbreen glacier. Before the tour begins, you are instructed thoroughly by the leader about the use of crampons, rope, ice ax, etc.
