pier of the ship. Tip: rent bikes here (100 NOK in 2022) and cycle the 3 km to the end of the valley. Brings a gain in time for the "scramble" on the glacier.

Isn't it more of a crevice? At least as far as I know, there is no accessible gorge at this point.

Svartisen Glacier

Highlight • Natural Monument

If you are on the coastal path, you should definitely make a detour here.

First we took the Isprins ferry across the Hollandsfjord. From the pier to the “Engabreen” tongue of the second largest Norwegian glacier, Svartisen, it's a relaxed 90 minutes. The panorama is breathtaking throughout. There are a few insurance policies on the mountain itself. Surefootedness and good footwear are essential.
