nigkar Posted March 11, 2020 #1 Share Posted March 11, 2020 We will be visiting Olden in August this year, and I believe there is a local bus that goes near to the Briksdal glacier. Where do get on the bus in Olden ? Also, how close is the stop to the glacier, and how often are buses ? How long would it take to walk from the glacier back to Olden. I will be grateful of any information. thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hallasm Posted March 11, 2020 #2 Share Posted March 11, 2020 Yes, public bus - schedule is here: Stryn Glacier Bus - might still be 2019 but expect same schedule for 2020 - check back later. You can walk from the stop to the glacier(30 minutes) or take the Troll Cars (reservation required) - more details on the Glacier Distance from Glacier Olden Cruise Port is 23 km - not walkable. A good tour opportunity is Loen Skylift - cable car to the maintain top. More Olden port info here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adam7392 Posted March 11, 2020 #3 Share Posted March 11, 2020 (edited) The bus stop is right at the port. In the google link below you can see the bus stop sign and behind it the jetty where the ship docks (assuming you are not tendering). https://www.google.com/maps/@61.8440247,6.8122779,3a,37.5y,243.13h,89.62t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1shN_wBp0Yyq6myaeg0bK-Ag!2e0!7i16384!8i8192 Edited March 11, 2020 by adam7392 missed link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was just a few mins stroll from the port. When we arrived at Olden, we booked the Troll cars for later. From the Troll car's stop, you stil have to go a few mins to the Glacier. Just leave enough time for the trip back, since the line to the bus returning to the port was long.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
