Why walk to the glacier to see just a tiny part, whil you can see the whole glacier and it's beauty from a distance? This is a small, just a little bit demaning tour taking you up to the mountainpeak Jomfrunuten to give you worlds best view on the Hardangerjøkulen. Because of the distance this is a family friendly tour, but you start with a walk up the hill, maybe not all family members are happy with that.

    Beautiful route. Took me exactly 3 1/2 hrs but I think I walk pretty fast so more like 4hrs for most. Map is really helpful to stay on the route as the path is not well marked at times.

    The way up was fine, nice views and enough markings. Overall great route and beautiful views. The second leg of the journey however was not marked at all or at least we didn't see any. We then took the same way back we came from, since it was getting a bit late. I'd recommend that for anyone unfamiliar with the area like we were. Overall great views and very worth it!
