If the weather is clear, the Loen Skylift is a great choice at Olden. You don’t need to book the pricey excursion through the cruise ship. You actually don’t need to book this in advance. There will be several booths selling tickets with transfers right on the dock. The advantage here is that you get a chance to check the weather prior to purchase. Lots of paths at the top of the Skylift or you can just enjoy from the restaurant.

We actually just got back from a cruise to the Norwegian fjords, and our favorite thing was hiking to the Briksdal Glacier in Olden. The views are absolutely spectacular! We used the same company mentioned above - Olden Adventure. We bought their tickets for the Briksdal Glacier Shuttle Bus online before we left for the cruise because I was worried they could sell out. They have a tent right on the pier next to where the cruise ship docks and we checked in there and then hopped on the bus at our scheduled time. The bus ride is about 45 mintues each way. On the way to the glacier it has some informative (and often funny) commentary about what you are passing, along with some Norwegian history. The bus ride itself offers fantastic scenery as well. Watch for the baby lambs!
Have a wonderful cruise!!
