For more than 100 years the farmers in Oldedalen have transported tourists with horse and carriage. In 2004 the horse and carriage were replaced with the "Troll cars".
The Troll Cars in Briksdal offer an easy and safe way to travel up the valley towards the Briksdal Glacier. A practical option if you would like to get close to the glacier without walking the entire distance from the parking area. Without transport, the walk from the parking area to the glacier area is approximately 3 kilometres.
The Troll Cars depart from the Briksdal area and follow the road through the valley towards the Briksdal Glacier. The journey takes approximately 10–15 minutes one way.
This solution makes the visit more accessible for a wide range of visitors, including families with children, seniors and travellers with limited time.
The Troll Cars operate continuously throughout the summer season (normally May–October).
Practical information:
Driving time one way: approx. 10–15 minutes
Walking distance from stop to glacier: approx. 700 metres
Estimated total duration (return incl. walking): approx. 1–1.5 hours
Tickets can be purchased on site or via the operator’s website
In May and from 20 September the tours must be booked in advance.
