Blue Ice Hike in Juklavass glacier is arranged daily from June to October and starts from Fonna Glacier Ski Resort.

Juklavass Glacier consists of both calm, flat ice and more challenging crevasse areas. The tour is adapted to the participators wishes and conditions. We take lunch break with world class panorama view of the North Sea and the Rosendal alps. Glacier guide will convey details about the culture, physical geography, climate etc. In the afternoon light, we return back to Fonna Glacier Centre with the fjord and mountains below us.

The hike is about 5-6 km in total walking distance, and about 300-400 meters height difference.

The hike can be from easy hiking with panorama view to the ice landscape and the fjord to more advanced ice climbing. Each glacier guide adjust the hike after the groups whishes and ice/snow conditions.
