Folgefonna Glacier: Husky Camp & Ice Walk Adventure

Visit a working husky camp perched on the Folgefonna glacier, meet the sled dogs up close, and set foot on one of Norway's largest ice fields. A 3-hour experience that fuses arctic wildlife with dramatic glacial scenery.

What to expect

A scenic mountain drive from Jondal brings you up to the Folgefonna plateau, where the temperature drops and the ice stretches in every direction. You are introduced to the resident huskies — learning about mushing traditions and the dogs' lives on the glacier. A guided walk onto the ice itself reveals crevasses, meltwater channels, and breathtaking views over the Hardangerfjord far below. The combination of glacier grandeur and the warmth of the dogs creates an unforgettable contrast.

Good to know

Folgefonna is approximately 30–40 minutes by car from Jondal pier. Wear warm, windproof layers even in summer — temperatures on the glacier are 10–15°C cooler. Pre-book directly; spaces fill fast in peak season. Confirm timings allow comfortable return before all-aboard.
