  • Information About the Project «From the Fjord to the Glacier – Through the Mountain»
    Information about the project «From the fjord to the glacier – through the mountain» A tunnel to the Tverr Mountain and the Jostedal Glacier in Jølster 1 Background For 150 years the glacier and fjord landscape in Western Norway has been one of the major and most unique tourist destinations in Norway. The glacier arms are decreasing and attractions like the Briksdal Glacier and the Bøya Glacier are losing some of the magic that make them attractive. It is therefore becoming more and more clear that innovative forces should join up to facilitate the creation of new destinations and new flagship attractions built on the same old glacier tradition that made Western Norway world famous already in the late 1800s. Jølster municipality is located in the center of Sogn og Fjordane county. Skei, the community center, is the meeting point of the main regional roads in Western Norway, rv5 (east-west) and E39 (north-south). Glaciers cover 22 % of the area in Jølster. A part of Jostedal Glacier National Park, which is the 4th largest national park in Norway, is located in the municipality. The Jostedal Glacier (487 km2) is the largest mainland glacier in Europe. This has provided Jølster with a 140 years long tradition of guided glacier walks. The business community in Jølster has launched the idea of constructing a road which will be accessible all year round to the top of the Tverr Mountain. Making this project reality, can provide positive effects both locally, regionally and nationally in the further marketing of Norway as a tourist destination. It will also be an important supplement for the knowledge communities doing research on glaciers and their secrets, on climate change and landscaping.
