ENVIRONMENT AND SUSTAINABILITY

With the hope of a more sustainable future

Briksdal is a nature-based attraction and the closest neighbour to Jostedalsbreen National Park. We receive visitors from all over the world who are passionate about nature and sustainability. We are currently in the midst of a climate and ecological crisis that requires action. Sustainable development will ensure that the needs of today’s generation are met without causing harm to future generations. We all know that there is no planet B. We need to take care of the one we have. We take the climate and the environment seriously, to the benefit of our guests, employees and the local community. Destination Briksdal is environmentally certified through Eco-Lighthouse. Welcome to Destination Briksdal!
