    Hiking

    From Odda is a nice hiking trail to the Buarbreen glacier tongue. The path has some small climbing passages, which are well managed by the attached fixed ropes and provide a high fun factor. You will be rewarded with great views of the glacier tongue.

    Hiking

    Climb beside the glacier river through magical little forests. Later quite steep and rocky. Some passages need to be handled using existing ropes. Partly exhausting during the descent. Above, great views of the glacier. A great tour to get started and not the mega-challenge. The tour you can walk in my video ever with me virtually. Come with me :-)

    Hiking

    You are not allowed to go on the glacier or to touch it (there is a fast river/waterfall between) but the view is stunning. Parking down in the valley is 150 NOK a day.
