Olden is a tiny village at the head of the Nordfjord, surrounded by some of Norway's most dramatic glacier scenery. It's the gateway to the Briksdal and Kjenndal arms of the mighty Jostedalsbreen — mainland Europe's largest glacier — reached through valleys of emerald lakes and tumbling waterfalls. A glacier-blue lake and a clifftop skylift complete a stop that's all about raw alpine beauty.
The Loen Skylift gives the biggest reward for the least effort — minutes to a mountaintop with a café and trails. For the classic glacier, Briksdal involves a 45-minute walk (or a ride in the open 'troll cars') to the viewpoint.
