Haugabreen Glacier Walk
A blue ice adventure for the whole family! Haugabreen Glacier is an accessible glacier in Southern Norway and can be enjoyed by both the younger and older family members. We adapt each encounter with the glistening blue ice crystals according to the group’s ambitions and abilities. The goal is to give you an experience you will never forget!
Haugabreen lays in the western part of the Jostedal Glacier Nationalpark not far from the E39 (the Western Norway Highway). We meet at Thon Partner Hotell at Skei. On the way to the glacier your guide will tell you how the glacier has formed the landscape we live in and how the locals have traditionally used the glacier. You should have some experience with trail hiking and a minimum of physical condition for this hike.
You will need:
• A small backpack (20-40L)
• Mountain boots
• Warm clothing for a day in the ice! (layers of wool will keep you warm)
• Insulated jacket like down, fleece or primaloft
• Wind/waterproof clothing
• Gloves/mittens
• Lunch and a warm beverage
• Sunglasses!
We will provide safety equipment, ice-axe and crampons for you, but you need room in your backpack to carry it up to the glacier.
