| Most of the trade is directed towards tourism, which has long traditions in Fjærland. Over the past 100 years travellers have come to see the fjord, the mountains and glaciers. In the early years numerous cruiseships brought tourists to Fjærland, where they travelled by horse and carriage to the glaciers. Today these round-trips are made by bus. Several cruise ships visit Fjærland every summer. Especially the magnificent nature, the stillness and the good hiking conditions continue to delight the visitors. The path from the Supphelle Valley up to the hut Flatbrehytta is the best gateway for the hikers to the glaciers. In addition, the local sports association has marked 10 other trails, from easy 1 hour walks to more difficult walks for 5-6 hours. |
