Last autumn, we spent a week in Vestlandet where we stayed next to Lustrafjorden, an arm of the large Sognefjorden in Norway. One day, we explored Jostedalen, a river valley that runs from the village of Gaupne on Lustrafjorden up to Nigardsbreen, an arm of the large Jostedal glacier.

We first drove Jostedalsvegen to its very end. We parked by the lake, Nigardsbrevatnet, next to the arm of the glacier (which is sadly much receded) and wandered around. Next, we drove back to stop by the Breheimsenteret (a visitor center for Jostedalsbreen National Park) which had a somewhat better view of Nigardsbreen from further afield. Finally, we started back, stopping a few other places on the way to take in the views.

Here are some images captured as we drove Jostedalsvegen back down the river valley last fall.
