- Activity level low
What you'll do
Upon your arrival at the port, your Spanish-speaking guide, identified by the Shore2Shore sign, will be waiting to start an exciting excursion through the most stunning landscapes of Norway.
We begin our route in the picturesque village of Hellesylt, where we will quickly be able to admire the spectacular Hellesylt waterfall. Its waters fall forcefully between steep rocks, creating an impressive view that marks the beginning of our journey.
We head towards Hornindalsvatnet lake, known for being the deepest in Europe, with a depth of 514 meters. Its calm waters and mountainous surroundings offer an image of serenity and unparalleled natural beauty.
From there, we will continue to the Nordfjord fjord, passing charming villages such as Stryn, Loen, and Olden. The latter, nestled at the foot of the fjord, is a typical locality that offers an impressive view of the surrounding valley.
We will continue through the majestic Olden valley until we reach the Briksdal mountain. From here, we will start a walk of approximately 40 minutes to reach the spectacular Briksdal glacier, one of the arms of the Jostedal glacier, the longest in continental Europe.
Here we will have the opportunity to marvel at the beauty of the glacier and its natural surroundings. The view of the waterfalls and streams descending from the mountains is simply unforgettable.
After enjoying this unique place, we will have free time to eat (lunch not included) and rest, or explore the surroundings of the glacier more thoroughly.
With hearts full of unforgettable memories, we will return to Hellesylt, where our excursion will conclude at the port.
Thank you for choosing Shore2Shore to discover the beauty of Norwegian landscapes.
