Breheimsenteret

Breiheimsenteret lies in Jostedal by Gaupne, Norway. It is a museum and one of the three visitors centers of the Jostedalsbreen National Park and glacier Jostedalsbreen in Sogn og Fjordane in Norway.

It is opened from 1st of May until 1st October. The center lies near to the glacier arm Nigardsbreen. The center contains much information about the glacier and the valley of Jostedal which lies at the glacier's eastern fringe. The center also shows a film about the glacier. You can book differents guided tours on the glacier at the center. There is a 3 km long path to the lake Nigardsbrevatnet where a small boat takes tourists to the front of the Nigard glacier toungue. A bus leaves daily from Sogndal to the Nigard glacier and stops at the center. It is appropriately called the "glacier bus".

Nearby (18 km) is the glacierlake Styggevatnet with a glacier, where its possible to kayak.
