In Tunsbergdalsvatnet, we offer an overnight trip that allows you to experience one whole day kayaking and exploring glaciers, followed by spending the night in tents near the lake.
Quick Details
MULTI-DAY NORWAY GLACIER ADVENTURES
On Styggevatnet, we can offer a tour for 36 hours (that’s two full days of excitement!). This trip begins as the regular day tour does, kayaking over the lake to the calving glacier front. From here, we stop for lunch and get the glacier hiking equipment ready to start walking across Austdalsbreen (glacier) and up onto the main plateau glacier, Jostedalsbreen. You won’t believe the views that this Norway glacier hike has to offer!
In ropes and walking over snow-covered crevasses, we cross the plateau glacier to the mountain Rundeggi. We set camp on a snowfield on the side of the mountain before walking up to the summit for dinner and a sunset view unmatched by any other!
The second day offers your choice of activities, with variations to suit all participants and weather conditions. Let us know what you’d like to do!
We must emphasise that Icetroll’s aim is to offer tours designed for people of any ability. After all, these tours are for you!

If you are on public transport (bus) we can wait for the Glacier Bus to arrive, but recommend you stay in Jostedal after the tour, so we don’t rush for the bus that leaves Jostedal in the evening! You need to tell us you are on a bus if you want us to wait.
