Bring waterproof layers
Conditions change quickly near the fjord and glacier — a waterproof outer layer and warm mid-layer keep you comfortable during stops.
Wear sturdy shoes
Many viewpoints require short walks over uneven, sometimes wet terrain — ankle-supporting shoes are best.
Seat choice for motion sensitivity
Choose a front-row seat in the vehicle for the winding mountain roads to reduce motion-sickness risk.
Charge your camera and phone
Multiple photo stops and long daylight hours mean you’ll want a full battery or a power bank.
Waterproof shell jacket
Protects against sudden rain and wind common around fjords and glaciers.
Sturdy walking shoes
Provides grip and ankle support on rocky viewpoints and moraine terrain.
Insulating mid-layer (fleece or down)
Keeps you warm during exposed stops at high viewpoints or near the glacier.
Camera or binoculars
Captures long fjord views and wildlife sightings across the valley.
