What to expect?
As you traverse the icy landscapes of the Folgefonna glacier, you’ll be captivated by the panoramic views of the North Sea, the Rosendal Alps, and the expansive Folgefonna National Park. Whether you’re a seasoned hiker or a beginner, this hike promises a unique and enriching experience.
Folgefonna, Norway’s third-largest glacier, is a collective name for three glaciers: Nordre (northern) Folgefonna, Midtre (central) Folgefonna, and Søndre (southern) Folgefonna1. Together, they cover an area of approximately 200 square kilometers.
During the hike, our knowledgeable glacier guides will share fascinating insights about the local culture, physical geography, and climate. You’ll learn how the stunning scenery of Fjord Norway was shaped by vast glaciers over thousands of years.
We’ll pause for a lunch break amidst these magnificent views, giving you a chance to soak in the beauty of your surroundings. As the afternoon light bathes the landscape, we’ll make our way back to the Fonna Glacier Centre, with the fjord and mountains unfolding below us.
Join us for this unforgettable journey and experience the awe-inspiring beauty of the Folgefonna glacier.
