Folgefonni Breførarlag has arranged this tour since 1994. Blue ice hike in Juklavass Glacier starts daily, 7 days a week from May/June until end of September (see booking schedule for exact dates). We offer different levels of difficulty, from easy hiking to challenging ice climbing, this means Blue Ice hike fits everyone between 7-80 years old in normal health conditions. Duration app. 5-6 hours. The blue ice hike is possible to do as a day tour from Bergen in the main season with public transport. It is possible to buy packets with public transport through GoFjords. Normally we also offer pickup service from Jondal, but due to Corona virus this is not possible in 2020. 

The "tourist road over Folgefonna"  has amused tourists for hundreds of years. From the summit of the glacier you can see the Hardangervidda plateau in the east, the North Sea in the west and  if you look south you can see the rugged mountains of the astonishing Rosendal Alps. During the entire 18 th century and until the beginning of the First World War, people from all over Europe were transported by horseback to the edge of the glacier whereas the transport across the glacier was done on sledges. In the mean time their luxury Yachts sailed around the Peninsula to welcome them at the opposite side of the glacier. Today there is a road tunnel beneath the glacier which makes the return much easier either by bus or by taxi (20 min). For online booking you need to be six persons or more in the group, if you are a less than six please send us an inquire booking.

Fjord kayak normally starts at Folgefonni Breførarlag's office  “Juklafjord” in Jondal, but it is also possible to start from Sundal in Mauranger or Rosendal. The absolute “must-do” in Hardanger is to explore the glacier and the fjord and in Jondal you can easily do both! Duration app. 3-4 hours.

We meet you in Rosendal to check equipment etc. then we drive by car for about 40 minutes to the starting point, please tell us if you do not have your own car (to be sure we have space for you in our minibus, due to corona we do not offer pickup service in 2020). We start with an introduction to safety rules and get familiar with the kayak and equipment.  For the kayak trip in the glacier lake dry suits are used to ensure safety, water is cold. If lucky, there are icebergs in the lake on our way from starting point to the Møsevass Glacier. The view of blue ice coming into the lake is powerful; no one can stop the ice on its way to the lake. We park the kayaks on a beach near the glacier and take lunch.  

Due to the COVID-19 situation we have reduced the price for "Private guide" this year. This option is perfect for families with children, those who would like to do more ice climbing rather than hiking. Or maybe a longer glacier trip than the standard "Blue Ice Hike"? Or just want some privacy? Price is per. guide, maximum of 10 person pr. guide. If your group is larger than 10 persons we have more guides.  Hiking start and stop time and what type of glacier hike is up to you.
