About Olden

Olden is a small village at the inner end of the Nordfjord, where large cruise ships tie up at the Olden cruise quay or anchor and tender passengers ashore at Olden Cruise Park. It is a gateway to Oldedalen, a valley of waterfalls and the emerald-green lake Oldevatnet that leads to Briksdalsbreen, one of Norway's most visited glacier arms in Jostedalsbreen National Park. Olden Adventure runs shuttle buses from the pier to the glacier, about 40 minutes each way, and to the Loen Skylift, about 10 minutes away, which climbs to Mount Hoven at 1,011 metres in five minutes.
