Enjoy this beautiful walk to Svartisen Glacier and marvel at its beauty while eating delicious waffles at the Brestua Glacier Center.
  • View of Svartisen Glacier

  • Beautiful walk


We take you ashore with our small boats (RIBs), which you will leave at a jetty. There, you can either rent a bike with the local supplier or hike 0.75 mile to the Brestua Glacier Center. Along the way, enjoy the beautiful and special cultural landscape. Start to understand why historical figures like the German Emperor Wilhelm II and Fridtjof Nansen enjoyed the area. Learn more about historical visitors to the area at the Brestua Glacier Center, located on a moraine right by idyllic Svartisvatnet Lake.
