Olden the Amazing Briksdal Glacier

The walk to the viewpoint at the glacier lake normally takes approximately 45-60 minutes; allow around 1 hour 50 minutes for the walk in total. Our guide walks with the group. The first part of the track is considered the most difficult. After that, the surface is relatively even and the hike becomes easier. We rate the difficulty at level 2-3 and recommend a high level of physical fitness. Please respect the warning signs along the track and wear appropriate shoes and clothing.
