ICE CAVES WINTER NIGARDSBREEN

A must do in Norway during wintertime! This trip is only available between November and April, as it is dangerous in the melting season.
Our most popular trip is visiting the Nigardsglacier, and exploring the caves at the terminal glacier. This trip requires

minimal ski training, and can also be done on snow shoes. See the last big glacier in europe up close, and explore the caves at the front, where the ice is so blue and clear that it's hard to believe. Anyone who can ski or walk can do this trip, we find, but you need to be able to walk in the terrain for 3-4 hours.

Time: 4-6 hours
Difficulty: Easy, but a good general condition is required.
Price drop inn: 700 NOK per person
