Environment and sustainability

With hope for a more sustainable future

Briksdal is a nature-based attraction and the closest neighbor to Jostedalsbreen National Park. We have visitors from all over the world who are interested in nature and sustainability. We are in the midst of a climate and nature crisis that requires action. Sustainable development should ensure that today's generation can meet its needs without causing damage to future generations. As we know, we do not have a planet B. We must take care of the one we have. We take our climate and environmental responsibility for the benefit of our guests, employees and local communities. Destination Briksdal is environmentally certified through the Environmental Lighthouse. Welcome to us!
