Guests from all over the world come to visit this famous glacier arm set attractively between roaring waterfalls and high peaks. Briksdalsbreen is an arm of the great Jostedalsbreen Glacier, and located inside the Jostedalsbreen National Park. From 1200 meters the glacier plunges down into the beautiful Briksdalen Valley. See the Briksdalen valley by foot or catch a ride with one of the "Trollcars" up to the glacier.

In Briksdal you will find a restaurant, a large shop and an booking office for " Troll car" trips.

Great adventures
There are many hiking possibilities in Briksdal and the surrounding area. The most popular walk is the 3 km trail from the Mountain Lodge to Briksdal Glacier. You can also do the 3 Glacier Hike and see the Melkevoll and Brenndal Glaciers in addition to the Briksdal Glacier. There are also other trails for those who want a challenge. Mt. Kattanakken and Oldeskaret are legendary alpine hikes. Due to the ice conditions at Briksdal Glacier, the guided glacier hikes are moved to Tystigbreen Glacier at Mt. Strynefjellet, guided by Briksdal Adventure.
