I’m going to Norway in June and will be stopping in Olden. Does anyone have any experience with the bus from Olden to the Mountain Lodge near Briksdahl glacier? Is it a city bus or private transportation? Are reservations needed? I’d like to take a troll car up and walk down. Are reservations needed for the troll cars? Any help would be much appreciated!

We booked through the Olden Cruise website which was a fun tour bus ride to the glacier parking lot. We then hiked up to the glaciers waterfall/cascade area - a nice hike (pretty busy) - and then back for an eventual return by bus. One woman went swimming in the glacial water, but I was simply happy to dip my hand in.
Part of the fun was watching the bus navigate the narrow roads to the park. We were in the front, so had a great view. Early bird get's the worm, so if you want the best view for the bus ride, get in line ASAP. But, the hike is the highlight.
