Scenic Kjenndal Glacier Boat Tour with Olden Adventure

Olden, tucked in Norway’s Sogn og Fjordane region, offers one of the most visually arresting fjord landscapes in Scandinavia. At the heart of these rugged vistas, Olden Adventure invites travelers aboard the historic MS Kjenndal II for a boat tour along the crystalline Lovatnet Lake through the Lodalen Valley. This journey is an unparalleled way to witness the convergence of alpine grandeur and glacial power. As the boat glides across the serene water, towering mountains frame the scene, their rocky faces marked by remnants of ancient glaciers and deep fjord cuts.

The centerpiece, Kjenndal Glacier, looms large—a remnant of Norway's Ice Age sculpting, slowly feeding into the valley below with its cold meltwater. The sharp contrast between the icy blue glacier face and the lush valley floor is striking, offering unmatched photo opportunities. Along the route, you encounter calm waters reflecting the sky, dense pine forests clinging to steep slopes, and wildflowers erupting in seasonal color.

A highlight stop is Kjenndalstova, a charming mountain lodge serving traditional homemade waffles—a true Norwegian respite amid the wild. This is more than a snack break; it connects visitors to local culture, where generations have lived off and respected this landscape.

Olden Adventure stands out in this area by merging comfortable, immersive travel with authentic natural beauty and cultural touchstones. Their knowledge of the local environment and small-group atmosphere makes the trip feel personal rather than commercial. Whether you’re drawn by geology, photography, or simply a quiet passage through a storied landscape, this boat trip delivers both in equal measure. It's an essential experience for anyone visiting western Norway's fjord country.
