About this tour
This scenic countryside tour explores the landscapes that surround Olden — glacial lakes, cascading waterfalls, and the steep-walled valleys that make Nordfjord one of Norway's most photogenic regions. It suits passengers who want broad nature scenery without necessarily reaching the Briksdal glacier terminus.
The route typically follows valley roads south from Olden with stops at viewpoints, lakes, and waterfall areas. Your guide explains the glacial history of the region and points out photo opportunities along the way.
A strong choice for port calls of four to six hours when you want more than a village walk but need a tighter schedule than a full Briksdal and Loen combination day.
