Glacier Guided Tour

Norwegian Glacier Museum and Bøyabreen Glacier

While in Fjærland you can visit the Norwegian Glacier Museum - an interactive experience and award winning museum, which offers something for the whole family. If you choose to book the Glacier Tour from Voss, the entry ticket is included in the price.

If you are interested in glaciers and the climate this is the leading centre in Norway, answering key questions like ‘Why is glacier ice blue?’, ‘Why is the fjord green?’ and ‘How were the fjords formed?’. You can even perform your own experiments with 1000 year old ice from the nearby glacier Supphellebreen.

You can also enjoy a unique and staggering panoramic film about Jostedalsbreen National Park, and experience the climate exhibition which takes you on a journey through Earths’ climatic history.

From the Museum, the tour continues by bus up to Bøyabreen glacier - a branch of Jostedalsbreen glacier. Here you can spend some extra time taking photos and see up close how the glacier impacts the landscape. For safety reasons it is not possible to walk on the glacier, but you will be able to see the glacier from up close
