Svartisen looks stunning from a distance, but it is only when you get onto the ice that you truly experience this magical landscape. The deep blue color and the sound of the ice moving make glacier hiking on Svartisen a unique experience, and on a midnight sun tour, you can truly appreciate the contrasts of the northern Norwegian summer night.

Equipped with an ice axe, crampons, helmet, and harness, you will have an unforgettable adventure in the company of an experienced guide. If you have any special requests or needs, just contact Explore Svartisen, and they will help you create a customized plan.

Glacier hiking on Svartisen is possible when the glacier tongue is free of snow, usually from summer until the snow settles in late autumn.

Explore Svartisen offers guided tours in the area year-round by appointment.
