Courses and guiding since 1994
Today Breoppleving is the largest private provider of glacier courses in Norway, with courses every week all summer.
Glacier adventure
We are Breoppleving, which means ‘Glacier Adventure,’ a mountain guiding company based in the small town of Sandane in western Norway. Since 1994, we have been providing glacier courses, glacier guiding, and climbing courses. From the beginning, we have adhered to the Norwegian tradition of embracing a simple outdoor lifestyle, using only the necessary equipment and leaving no trace of our presence.
Certified
All our guides are certified. Breoppleving follows the Norwegian national standard used by professional providers of mountain guiding and courses. Information about the organisation (Norsk Fjellsportforum) and its standards is found at www.fjellsportforum.no. Breoppleving is approved at level 2, the highest level.

From glacier courses for students to the largest in Norway.
Breoppleving started with glacier courses for students in the summer of 1994. We have run glacier courses ever since, both on Smørstabbreen and in Bødalen.
In 1995 we started guiding on Briksdalsbreen together with Briksdal Breføring. We did this until 2003, when guiding on Briksdalsbreen had to stop because the glacier was shrinking fast.
In 1997 we started climbing courses in Lom and Hurrungane, and these courses still run every summer. The same year we started Josten på langs, Jostedalsbreen lengthwise on skis, a very popular trip that runs in May every year.
Since 1997 Breoppleving has been approved by Norsk Fjellsportforum, the highest approval in Norway for providers of glacier and climbing courses. In 2002 we were also approved to train glacier instructors.
We have also guided in Bødalen, at Gjendebu and between Spiterstulen and Memurubu, and private groups from Lyngen in the north to Mount Kenya in the south.
We started glacier courses at Flatbrehytta because Bødalsbreen had shrunk. Bødalsbreen used to be the most used glacier for glacier courses in Norway.
We started regular glacier courses in Jostedalen and on Nigardsbreen.
In recent years we have run courses for glacier guides in Jostedalen together with Jostedalen Breførarlag, and courses for glacier instructors at Flatbrehytta.
We marked 30 years in the mountains – and that the glacier courses in Jotunheimen, the climbing courses in Lom and Josten på langs have been with us the whole way.
