Styggevatnet, situated at 1,200 meters above sea level, remains snow-covered until early to mid-July. Once the snow melts, our adventure begins with a kayak trip across the lake, followed by a hike on the Austdalsbreen glacier. The paddle to the glacier takes about 1.5 hours, during which we search for recently calved icebergs. Upon reaching the glacier, we pause for lunch, taking in the stunning views.

After lunch, we embark on a glacier hike, navigating around large crevasses to reach the glacier’s center, offering breathtaking views of the lake and Jostedalsbreen National Park. We spend 1.5 to 2 hours exploring the glacier before kayaking back.

Along the drive today, stop at the scenic view points, including the new Hoven Loen Cable car with incredible fjord views, outdoor adventures and dining option.
