What you'll do

The tour begins with a short kayak trip of 30 minutes over this idyllic lake, pr
oviding perfect photo opportunities and a chance to try kayaking in perfect glacial surroundings. Once we are on the other side of the lake, we have a walk to the ice (approx 45 mins). On the walk up to the glacier, the guide will explain glaciers, how they work, where they have been and local history. Once at the glacier, we put on the crampons and rope for the glacier walk and spend two hours exploring the glacier at our leisure. This kayak and glacier hike tour is perfect for families who visit in May/June until we begin tours on Styggevatnet in July. Then you have an option to take the Glacier Half Day Tour on Styggevatnet. We meet at the Labben for this tour. You follow the Icetroll vehicle to the lake and on the way there is a toll of 90kr, to be aware of. You can pay for this up to 48 hours after the trip, by going onto the website advertised on the sign at the entrance to the National Reserve. Can’t wait to see the glaciers? We thought so.
