   20 min

4. To save time and make your excursion more comfortable, we reserve seats in advance for our guests in an open electric vehicle, playfully known a Troll car. We will get up to the Briksdal glacier in a matter of minutes, winding along the serpentine road and exposing our faces to the joyful splashes of countless waterfalls. The whole time on the way will fly by in delight from the untouched natural landscape, which has changed little over the centuries. Gaze up at the sheer tongue of the glacier, believe me, it has noticeably melted while you were not here. It is very good that you are coming here now, without delay, and see this centuries-old miracle of nature, which, due to technological processes, wars and disasters, may simply disappear. That's the beauty of visiting this untouched place. You never know what you'll encounter or how long it will take before the landscape changes dramatically.

   3 h

5. On the way to the village of Loen we will be able to stop at the most picturesque places for Instagram photos. Even if you don't have an Instagram account, stopping for photos will leave you with fond memories of your private tour because you'll be able to see many hidden gems not available on bus tours.

   30 min

6. * Enjoy stunning views as you take the modern cable car to the top of Mount Joven. Although the high-tech elevator, aptly named Skylift, takes only about five minutes to reach the top, the sights will remain etched in your memory forever. * See the sparkling, steep-walled fjord below and the Jostedalbrien glacier in the distance. You can also expect to see outdoor adventurers hiking the mountain trails and strolling across the bridge that spans the deep chasm near the summit. Mount Hoven is over half a mile high and its entire nature is beautiful and incredibly panoramic. * Spend some free time at the top of Mount Joven and enjoy a delicious lunch or coffee break at a cliff top restaurant with breathtaking views.

   2 h

7. Timely return to port is guaranteed

About Skjolden

Skjolden is a quiet village at the head of the Lustrafjord, an arm of the Sognefjord, with high mountains, glaciers and the Sognefjellet road.

Skjolden lies at the innermost end of the Lustrafjord, itself a branch of the Sognefjord, Norway's longest fjord, with steep mountainsides rising on every side. It is a small village of a few hundred people, with a pier, a church, and farms on the lake and fjord shores. The philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein came here to think and write in the early twentieth century, and later had a hut built above the lake.
