Frequently Asked Questions
Alongside most of the time, or at anchor on the busiest days. From the gangway the setting takes over: the Oldedalen valley runs south between walls hung with waterfalls and snowfields.
Because it comes down from the glaciers carrying rock flour, then mixes with the deep water of the Nordfjord. That milky green is a colour photographers never quite manage to capture.
A tongue of ice descending from the Jostedalsbreen, the largest glacier in mainland Europe, between two granite shoulders. It is the whole reason for the call, at the end of the Oldedalen valley.
Four to five hours in all: about twenty kilometres of road up the Oldedalen, roughly 45 minutes, then a 45-minute steady climb on foot toward the glacier front.
Not necessarily: electric troll cars shorten the walk for those who want them. Standing before the ice front, beside the lake where small icebergs sometimes drift, the journey makes sense.
Not much, and it is better to know that: a main street, two churches including an old 18th-century wooden chapel, wool shops and a few cafes. Olden is not the destination; it is the gateway to it.
Yes, Loen is a few kilometres away, and the Skylift reaches Mount Hoven at more than 1,000 m in about five minutes. Allow three to four hours. It is the option for passengers who want the panorama without a demanding hike.
Kayaking or cycling in the valley, two to four hours as you please. It is the choice of active travellers who prefer to set their own pace rather than follow an excursion timetable.
Strawberries famous across the country, ripened by the bright summers and sold in punnets at the roadside in season. The Oldedalen farms also raise sheep and cattle. After ice and altitude, a little earth and sugar balance the day.
Yes, the village and the shoreline take one to two hours on foot with no climbing. Anyone who prefers to stay at fjord level will not feel short-changed: it is the same scenery, seen from below. The currency is the Norwegian krone (NOK).
