This half-day bus excursion begins at the pier on the Olden shore, where passengers board the bus for a drive through the valley. The route passes the Olden Old Church, colorful farms, and several waterfalls before stopping for about ten minutes at the turquoise Olden Lake for photos. After the photo stop, the bus continues to Briksdal Inn, the starting point for a five-minute walk along a path surrounded by waterfalls and mountains to the glacier viewpoint by the glacier lake. Visitors spend about one hour and 45 minutes at Briksdal Glacier, exploring the area around the glacier and its lake. Renting a "troll car" is available for those who prefer not to walk to the glacier. After the visit, the bus returns to the pier on the Olden shore, where the tour ends. The full excursion lasts about four hours and includes a local guide. Hotel pickup and drop-off are not included. Appropriate clothing and footwear are recommended. Vehicles used on the tour support foldable wheelchairs, but the terrain may be uneven, so wheelchair users should contact the operator before booking if a ramp is needed.
