Mind-blowing helicopter ride

As it was my birthday while we were in the are Mrs Mono kindly bought me a helicopter flight over the national park, mountains, lakes and flords which offered breath-taking views of everything in the area, but especially the Jostedal Glacier. For security reasons, we...More

Not guaranteed to see a glacier here!

This is basically the information centre, situated in the middle of the national park. You can see a short film and exhibition and stop off for a coffee. It's situated on Lake Stryn, which has stunning views! We were lucky to see a couple of...More

Kinda pricey

This visitor center is beautifully situated on the shores of Lake Stryn. Parking, the café, and the souvenir store inside the Visitor Center are free, but it costs a 100 NOK ticket to see the exhibits, use the restrooms, or go outside between the Visitor...More

Spectacular Scenery, small visitor centre

We stopped here with a tour from our cruise ship. The scenery from Hellesylt to the visitor centre is spectacular. There is not much to do at the visitor centre after watching the 15 minute film. Since we were on a tour bus we did...More

Amazing nature

I haven't seen nothing like this before. I came here in Autumn and there were many activities I couldn't do because they were out of season but it was AMAZING. I had never seen wild places like this. All the glaciers and the dam are...More

Nice mother nature walk!

We arrived here after our earlier cruise to visit the Geirangerfjord (please refer to my earlier review of the place). It was already closed to 5pm but the sky was still very bright. Most visitors come here with an objective which is to see and...More

I don't know why we stopped here.

No return of VAT on purchases here, so I put the items back. There is a 5 minute information movie on glaciers, taxidermied indigenous animals, native stones, and flowers. The surroundings are amazing, but so are the surroundings outside the information center. I was completely...More

Hello, I´m planing a trip and think it is too much of a detour to go to Briksdalsbreen. So Ideally I was thinking of driving from Gerianger and on the east side of Breheimen/Jostedalsbreen. Do anyone have any recommendations on which one to go? We are a group of adults in all ages, would love a small hike but nothing mayor.

Answer

Hi! There are many beautiful hikes in the area. It depends on what you would like to see, and where you're going to from Geiranger. I could recommend Erdalen which is a beautiful valley in Oppstryn, not far from the national... More
