Meet your guide at the Breheimsenter and follow the Icetroll vehicle to the lake. On the way, pay a toll of 90kr. They accept cards or coins.
Start your adventure with a short kayak trip over the idyllic lake, providing perfect photo opportunities and a chance to try kayaking in Norway in perfect glacial surroundings. Once you are on the other side of the lake, take a walk to the glacier.
On the walk up to the glacier, your guide will explain glaciers, how they work, where they have been, and local history. Once at the glacier, put on your crampons and rope for the glacier walk. Spend 2 hours exploring the glacier at your leisure and enjoying your lunch (you must bring) in this beautiful setting.
