In this video we do the short blue ice hike at Nigardsbreen in Norway. There are options for longer or shorter hikes, but we found the four hour round trip to be just right. You get time in a blue ice tunnel, and the highlight of the day for us was a large archway at the base of the ice where the water that is melting runs down the mountain and is spat out under the ice at the base.
Nigardsbreen is Europe’s largest glacier and it is slowly disappearing. So we recommend you visit as soon as you can!!
