Located at the head of the Nordfjord, Olden’s tiny village of only around 600 residents sits surrounded by towering peaks, waterfalls, and the wilds of Jostedalsbreen National Park. This dramatic landscape hosts the largest glacier on the European mainland, covering over 175 square miles of ice that spills down into ancient valleys. Spend the morning hiking toward the Briksdal Glacier, an arm of the massive Jostedalsbreen and one of the region's most visited natural attractions. Then return to the village for a lunch of freshly caught fish while gazing across photogenic waters that mirror the surrounding peaks.
