View of the Austerdalsbreen Glacier Valley

Highlight • Viewpoint

From here you have a good view of the glacier valley. However, you have to go further to see the glacier.

Austerdalsbreen Glacier

Highlight • Natural Monument

The Austerdalsbreen is a glacier branch of the Jostedalsbreen - the largest glacier in mainland Europe. Three glaciers named after Nordic deities plunge down into the valley like waterfalls: Odinsbreen, Torsbreen and Lokebreen. Here you can get up close to the glacier. But since large pieces keep breaking off when the glacier "calves", it's better to look at this ice spectacle from a little distance and enjoy the view while taking a break on one of the large boulders at the foot of the glacier.

The path is very wet and muddy. Gaiters and rain gear are essential.

Fortunately, I had the premium version of Kommot. Weather was almost perfect for the minute. Maybe it was a coincidence, but it helped us plan. It was just stupid that we started an hour late. That's how the rain got us.

June 26, 2024,Norwegen: Austerdalsbreen – Wanderung zum Gletscher

Today was the day. After a relaxed breakfast (finally no stress about leaving), we start our hike to the Austerdaalsbreen glacier.

We can hardly wait to reach it, because seeing a glacier up close is a first for both of us.

Our one-hour journey took us along narrow roads, through unlit single-lane tunnels, and over a 15km-long unpaved "bomveg" (toll road) to the Tungastølen Tourist Inn, at the foot of which our first Norway hike of the year began. We immediately ascended a rocky path, occasionally requiring the use of a hand, from which we followed the glacial stream of the …

August 14, 2022,NORWEGEN 🇳🇴 Austerdalsbreen 🏔Auf zum Gletscher

Such good weather 🌞 we weren't used to it anymore... but you don't want to complain.
The journey to the starting car park is already the first adventure. 30km single lane road, extremely curvy and very small bypass bays including dark tunnels.
But back to hiking. The route mostly leads over rocky/rough paths until you are in front of the …

September 25, 2024,People are fragile things, you should know by now

The journey to the hike was worth the trip alone. With good entertainment from the Three Investigators, we drove along narrow roads and unlit tunnels, where we had to use lay-bys to avoid oncoming traffic.
The weather was very rainy, but that didn't stop us from setting off on our hike. My first shoe was wet after a very short …
