Breheimsenteret Glacier Centre
Breheimsenteret
A glacier exhibition center at the entrance to the Nigardsbreen Glacier, housed in an ice-mountain-shaped building, and the meeting point and ticket office for glacier hiking tours.
Breheimsenteret is one of the visitor centers of Jostedalsbreen National Park. The building is designed to resemble a glacier crevasse, and its exhibits explain how glaciers form, climate change, and local history, while glacier films are also shown. Glacier hiking tours register and gather here, and the restaurant offers views of the Nigardsbreen Glacier. It is about 3 km from the glacier parking area, making it a good place to stop before or after a hike. Admission is about NOK 100.
Opening hours
