The Haugabreen Glacier Walk

Fjærland
Written By Bob Lawson

For the adventurous (and fit) we highly recommend the full day hike at Haugabreen Glacier in Jølster, guided by Fjaerland Guiding.

We set off from Stardalen for a full day trip to the glacier where you can walk on the glacier itself.  You will need to have some experience with trail hiking and be physically fit enough for the one hour hike to reach the glacier where we then typically spend 2-3 hours on the glacier itself. We can choose different routes on the ice, depending on ice and snow conditions on the day.

This activity is demanding and participants need to be reasonably fit to do it*.  It is an all day activity(up to 7 hours) available to those traveling between July to September (and over 12 years of age).

*Medium to hard (medium for people who are used to hiking in mountain terrain, and hard for people who are not used to hiking in mountain terrain).

You will need to bring the following equipment and clothing with you:

  • Good solid mountain boots

  • Clothing for a day in the mountains:  insulating underwear/wool, wind/waterproof clothing

  • Thin gloves/mittens

  • Sunglasess/sunscreen

  • Thermos with warm beverage and lunch

  • A small backpack (20-40 l)
