Join the experienced guides from Folgefonni Breførarlag on an adventure on the Juklavassbreen glacier. Juklavassbreen is an arm of Folgefonna, Norway’s third-largest glacier. During the glacier hike from Jondal, you will fully explore the unique landscape, from easy ice plains to more challenging areas with exciting crevasses.
Lunch is enjoyed with a breathtaking view of the majestic Rosendal Alps and, on clear days, the North Sea in the distance.
Along the way, your guide will share insights about local cultural history, climate and glacier development, and the region’s physical geography and answer any questions you may have.
