Jostedalsbreen National Park Hikes
Discover the breathtaking beauty of Jostedalsbreen National Park with our curated collection of hikes. From easy walks to challenging treks, experience Europe’s largest mainland glacier and its stunning surroundings.
Note: This section is still under development, when you see a hike you’d like to do and there’s no Komoot or Google Maps Link added yet, usually you’ll find the beginning of the trail by looking up the destination in Google Maps (example: Briksdalsbreen for the “Briksdalsbreen trail”) and from there you follow the signs, red dots and red “T’s”.
If you feel safer having a Komoot map to follow along, feel free to send me a message and I’ll send you a planned route asap.
