Guided Glacier Walks, Jostedalsbreen Glacier and Jotunheimen
Hiking on a glacier with the party all roped together is about as exciting as it gets. Once you have put on your crampons and helmet, been attached to the rope and have the ice axe in your hand, you will feel the excitement rise. You can join guided hikes on the blue ice in Jostedalen and Fjærland, and some other places in the Luster area.

**Be aware that the glacial ice is always in motion, and that blocks of ice can break off from the glacier front, so you must never hike on the glacier without a local guide or venture past the barriers that have been erected
