Folgefonna
Description
Folgefonna is an extensive glacier west of Hardangervidda. The glacier plateau rises to about 1.700 m. The sides of the glacier are steep and impressive, especially on the east side where the ice plunges into the Sørfjord. There are also several glacier valleys. A good place for starting a tour is Odda on the east side of the plateau or Rosendal on the west side.
