Olden - Service Bus to Briksdal Glacier

[gstewart]

Hi all

 

Travelling to Norway in August on Crown Princess. In Olden, we are hoping to catch the service bus to the Briksdal Glacier. Does anyone know where I can find more information about this bus and where exactly you have to go to catch it.

 

Cheers

We were also in Olden on a P&O cruise but wanted to make our own way to the Glacier. There wasn't a bus stop or sign near where the ship docked but the shopkeeper in the souvenir shop (NOT the tourist information office, who tried to sell us their taxi service when we asked about the bus) directed us to it. The bus arrived right on schedule at 9.45am. A few other passengers got on at the nearby ICA supermarket where there is a bus stop sign, so you could go there if you're unsure about where to go. The journey was 45 krone per person each way. It was a beautiful drive around two greeny-blue lakes.

 

On arrival, we walked from the car park to the Glacier in around an hour (but with lots of stops for photographs!). We walked back down in around 30 minutes and took the 1.30pm bus back.

 

Beautiful scenery, gorgeous waterfalls and stunning Glacier!

What is the location of the bus stop the shopkeeper directed you to? Which location is closest to the cruise ship pier?

How do you get to the ICA supermarket from the cruise ship pier?
