FROM THE KJENNDALEN GLACIER TO A BOAT TRIP ON LOVATNET LAKE

Description This excursion provides the extraordinary opportunity to admire the Kjenndalen glacier up close as it is one of the unmissable attractions of Nordfjord with its magnificent enchanting colours. A motor boat trip around Lovatnet lake provides the occasion to admire the marvellous surrounding scenery from a new perspective.

What we will see

• Nordfjord, the sixth longest fjord in Norway
• Kjenndalen glacier with its blue and green colour palette
• Lovatnet lake and its waters coloured by clay

What we will do

• We set off on this exciting half-day excursion surrounded by the Norwegian countryside as we drive across the Nordfjord, the sixth longest fjord in Norway.
• We proceed towards Kjenndalen valley towards the starting point of the trail leading to the glacier.
• Kjenndalen glacier, part of the Jostedalsbreen National Park, is the largest stretch of ice in continental Europe. After a short easy walk, an amazing landscape dominated by deep blue-green hues appears before our eyes.
• We take advantage of this breathtaking landscape to take some evocative photographs.
• Trekking makes us peckish, so we enjoy a well-deserved break at the Kjenndalstova mountain refuge with a cup of steaming coffee or tea accompanied by delicious sweets.
• Our excursion then continues to the much-admired Lovatnet lake where we board a small motor boat. During a wonderful crossing on the turquoise waters, our guide helps us to discover how these unique colours derive from the clay transported by the majestic glacier.
• We conclude our experience by returning to Nordfjordeid by coach.
