Fjord & Glacier Excursion
Experience the natural wonders of Norway; the fjords and the glaciers. The Fjærlandsfjord and the Jostedalsbreen Glacier are the highlights on this excursion.
Itinerary: Travel by boat along the dramatic western coastline before cruising along the Sognefjord, the world’s longest and deepest fjord, to Balestrand. Continue along the Fjærlandsfjord on board the M/F ”Fjærlandsfjord” and experience one of the most beautiful fjord arms in Norway. Steep forest-clad mountainsides surround the narrow Fjærlandsfjord, which takes you in to the Jostedalsbreen glacier. Along the fjord, the old hamlets and farms are reminders of the struggle for existence in former times.
The village of Fjærland is at the innermost point of the fjord. From here you will continue by bus to the Norwegian Glacier Museum where you can learn more about glaciers; the aim of the Norwegian Glacier Museum is to collect, create and communicate knowledge about snow, ice and glaciers. What is a glacier? How were the fjords formed? The museum has the answer to these and many other questions. With the help of advanced film techniques, interactive models and your own experiments with ice, you can experience the interaction of natural forces.
From the museum continue by bus to the Supphellebreen and Bøyabreen glaciers, both of which are part of the Jostedalsbreen glacier. Please note that it is not possible to walk on the glaciers during this excursion.
Return to Bergen by boat.
