ICETROLL offer kayaking and glacier hiking tours in remote glacier valleys in Jostedalen, on the eastern side of the Jostedalsbreen Icecap. The tours, designed for any ability, include day trips on one of two lakes, an overnight tour and, for the more adventurous, a 2-day tour.
We welcome anybody with a desire to explore the outdoors. There are no limits on age or fitness, on individuals or groups. The tours vary in time and distance to suit your demands.
Our season is determined by the weather. The temperature in spring will tell us how quickly the snow from winter melts off the lakes.
The early summer (May/June) offers snow clad mountain scenery on the Tunsbergdalen lake, fresh from the cover of winter ice. In early July we start our tours on Styggevatnet, at higher altitude (1200m asl), we are on a lake amongst the icecap plateau mountains. Late summer (Aug/Sept) shows much glacier melting, as a consequence the glaciers in both valleys have developed amazing ice formations and on Styggevatnet towers of ice calve off the glacier into the lake. The sheer magnitude combined with the captivating solitude of these glacier lakes will leave you wanting more, guaranteed.
Booking in advance is advisable, simply to avoid disappointment. With a maximum number of ten to a group, we aim to preserve the solitude you will find in these areas, where we won't see another person all day. The limited places available also help ensure a personal tour tailored to everyone's needs. All kayaking and glacier hiking equipment is provided.
Whether your focus on these tours is scenic, environmental, informative or just plain physical, we aim to fulfil your expectations with our guides making every effort to ensure your tour befits this most amazing world of glaciers.
