We begin by kayaking toward Austdalsbreen (glacier) front. Calving ice from this glacier leaves us with floating icebergs as we kayak across Styggevatnet (lake). After the kayaking, enjoy lunch with this idyllic view before walking on the glacier. We offer small trips so that everyone gets plenty of time to enjoy all of the features of this stunning glacier.

Styggevatnet (1,200m above sea level) is covered by snow from winter until early to mid-July. It is then the adventure begins as we kayak over the lake and hike atop the Austdalsbreen. We start trips on Styggevatnet, Jostedal, in early July (hopefully 11 July), and run them until the end of September.
Once the lake has defrosted, we begin the kayaking tours. It is about one and a half hours paddling over to Austdalsbreen (glacier) with its 30m-high front that calves towers of ice into the lake. On the way, we look for icebergs that have calved off the glacier from the days before. After kayaking, we stop for some lunch, enjoying the view across the front of the glacier.
