Breheimsenteret visitor's center is now open.

The whole construction team has made a great job, and we opened the center on May 17, after less than 11 months construction period.
We kept the architecture, but have made some changes inside. The restaurant will have more capacity, more space on our terrace facing the glacier, new exhibitions, with state of the art interactive installations. We will make it a better experience for you, our visitors.

We wish you all welcome to Jostedalen in 2013, enjoy the nature, enjoy Breheimsenteret, meet people, join the exciting activities, have a good time!

New National Park in Jostedal:
The Breheimen National Park is now established. Our prime minister Jens Stoltenberg opened the new park on Friday August 14 2009. That means the Jostedalen valley now is surrounded by National Parks: The Jostedalsbreen and the new Breheimen. See video. See map of Jostedalen between two National Parks.

Melting glaciers? Yes, many of the glacier arms of the Jostedalsbreen National Park are melting away. The good news is that Nigardsbreen and the other glacier arms in the Jostedalen valley are so big and have such a big volume that the melting is very slow. So if you want to see a glacier still worth seeing, come to Jostedalen.

Breheimsenteret is a National Park Visitor's Center at the entrance of the Jostedal Glacier National Park. The glacier and the park have their names from the Jostedalen Valley. The Nigard Glacier is the easiest accessible arm of the main glacier. In August a new National Park was established on the eastern side of the Jostedal valley. This park is called Breheimen National Park. (about the park, only in Norwegian at the moment).
That means that Jostedalen will be a long, narrow valley between two wonderful national parks. A good position to be in. A good place to visit.

In the Center you can visit our museum, a thrilling experience, and who knows, you might just learn something too!
We also have a souvenirs shop, with sweaters, jackets, T-shirts and postcards. And of course genaral tourist information for the Sognefjord region.
Our lunch restaurant is perfect for a break in between exciting experinces in unspoiled nature. For tour operators: We have several group offers. Please email jostedal@jostedal.com.
Do you have kids? They'll love the Children's Climbing Room, within the cafeteria. And of course we have free wireless connection to the Internet.
And most of the very exciting outdoor activities in Jostedal are booked in the Breheimsenteret.
