EXCELLENT Based on 11 reviews Ian F2026-06-29 Just a great experience glacier hiking We went on a glacier hike with Gaute and he was just so great about everything. We learned so much on the hike up about the history of the glacier and then learned so much about the skills of hiking and climbing on a glacier. Everything felt very safe and was a truly wonderful experience. GrandTour037704950172025-07-16 Wonderful! What a trip! The goat knows everything about the glacier and let you try climbing every possible crack! Thank you for this experience! Ho B2024-08-25 Der Guide ist wirklich sehr kompetent und absolut empfehlenswert Die Wanderung zum Gletscher war sehr anspruchsvoll aber dank unserem tollen Guide für alle sehr gut möglich gewesen. Es war wirklich ein unvergesslicher Trip in eine atemberaubende Landschaft. Wir haben die 7 Stunden Wanderung gut überstanden und fühlten uns sehr gut aufgehoben bei Gaute. 👍 KenA5322024-07-09 Great first time glacier tour I can really recommend Gaute as a guide. He greets you with great humor and a positive attitude. He plans every part of the trip several steps ahead with safety in mind. We spent twice as long time on the ice as a group from another company. We also had time to have som fun and try our limits with steep ascents/descents. I definitely want to come back on a tour with Gaute! Gwynfor T2023-08-19 A fantastic first foray into glacier walking - Gaute is a great guide and the location was amazing. This was our first time glacier walking so were quite apprehensive. Gaute made everyone in the group (10 from three families) feel comfortable and confident. We all met at a fuel station then drove the 20 minutes in convoy to the car park at the start where he issued us with our crampons, ice axes and harnesses. We then walked around 90 minutes up the valley to the glacier where Gaute showed us how to put on the crampons and harnesses and how to use the ice axes. Roped together we headed up the glacier navigating our way around the crevasses. Once we reached a suitable area, we detached from the rope and Gaute demonstrated the techniques to climb and descend steeper sections safely. We spent around 2 and a half hours on the ice itself before we headed back to the car park. It is a truly beautiful location and Gaute is a great guide and teacher. Sherpa221684071262023-08-14 Great glacier experience Great hike! During the walk to the glacier, Gaute gave us so much information about our surroundings. It was an amazing experience and even though it was foggy we had so much fun! Gaute was a great guide and we had the best time! He even taught us the basics of climbing a glacier, we really liked how he put so much effort into this hike! Thierry S2023-08-13 Simply waw Gaute led us to a unique tourist-free spot to have a marvelous and safe hike on the glacier. To me it was like walk on the moon..simply waw. Special thanks to Gaute for all explanations, patience and for his kindness. Thierry Andrea B2023-08-13 A perfect day with Gaute It was a great Glaciertour with Gaute. Even it was very foggy, it was a mystic tour to Haugabreen glacier. Gaute gave us much information about the glacier and he showed us to climb on ice. It was an unforgetable day and we thank Gaute so much, that he showed us this wonderful place. Next time we come to norway, we will do the advanced tour, with Gaute. Megan T2023-07-31 Highly recommend glacier hike! We did the beginners glacier hike with Glaute and it was fantastic! Our kids 13 and 11 really enjoyed it - the guide was fantastic and very good with the kids. It was an experience of a lifetime for this Aussie family and I would highly recommend. The region is absolutely stunning! Ambassador8019692023-07-29 Great hike It was a great experience to climb Haugabreen glacier with Gaute. He was very kind and giving good advice. Always willing to help and support. Thanks to him, I have a great souvenir on the glacier having seen the carpet of diamonds

EXCELLENT Based on 47 reviews Bronwyn RaperTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Wow what an incredible day with Gaute the mountain goat - he's a fantastic guide and you are guaranteed a really fun day out! The glacier hike up Haugabreen was easily the highlight of our Norway visit, and I would highly recommend to anyone that loves an adventure! Not only did Gaute teach us glacier hiking skills but also shared his vast knowledge and passion for glaciers, the geological processes and devastation that climate change is having on them - thank you so much Gaute! Martin MicallefTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had an incredible full-day glacier trip with Gaute from Mountaingoat Guiding. He is extremely professional, knowledgeable and experienced, and he made the whole adventure fun from start to finish. I highly recommend Gaute, and one important tip: trust his advice if he recommends a particular glacier! We followed his recommendation and it turned out to be an amazing choice. We didn’t see a single other tourist the entire day and had the glacier completely to ourselves! It was a truly unique experience and definitely one of the highlights of our Norway trip. If you're looking for a real glacier adventure away from the crowds, I highly recommend Gaute and Mountaingoat Guiding. Thank you, Gaute, for an unforgettable day! 🧊🏔️🇳🇴 Amanda BarkemeyerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Incredible adventure with Gaute! Pictures don’t do the experience justice. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a once in a lifetime opportunity! Bálint Loránd HegyiTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Incredible adventure! Our guide, Gaute, was very nice, told stories and facts about the Glacier. We did the Haugabreen glacier tour, with 8 people all together. A good hour and a half hike up to the glacier and the same way back after. It is not a beginner tour, it was physically challenging but if you have a "not too bad" physique, you can make it and you will be very happy you did. I cant move a muscle after but it was worth it. 10/10 Natália KunyiTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a great time with Gaute. The hike was adventurous and he told us a lot of interesting stories and facts about glaciers. Even though I'm not particularly strong I could manage and Gaute was helping too. I can only recommend this hike :) Marjolein Van Der StegenTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Wat een geweldige ervaring, gaute is een geweldige gids met veel humor en een berg kennis. Haalt alles uit de kast voor iedereen in ons groepje. De kinderen en richard hebben genoten van zijn uitdagingen en hij gaf mij een veilig gevoel en het vertrouwen dat ik het kon. Hij heeft veel geduld en oog voor diegene die het wat spannender vinden en hij heeft ons een onvergetelijke ervaring bezorgd, en het was geweldig iemand te ontmoeten met dezelfde humor en liefde voor natuur en omgeving. Zijn enthausiasme is aanstekelijk We komen zeker weten terug voor nog een onvergetelijke trip. En een biertje of 2 😉 Aileen MooreTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Gaute was a wonderful guide. Our family of four had an amazing day on the glacier. We were the only group on the part of the glacier we went to which made it very special. Gaute was friendly, knowledgeable, safety conscious, very happy to go at our pace but also to encourage us to be adventurous. He took and shared with some fantastic photos to remind us of our day. Definitely a highlight of our 2 week trip to Norway. Tina NielsenTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Super fantastic day on Haugabreen/Hauga Glacier. Walking and climbing with the best guide you can think of. Easily understandable instructions in using ice axe and steigeisen, climbing glacier crevasses and walls. Safe feeling and no risk taken. Gaute told us about the glacier, the melt off and made it interesting also for teenagers. Group with spread of age from 14 to 65 years. We chose the Haugabreen because it is less touristed and few or no one else on the trail/glacier. We recommend a fair level of fitness as the trail to the glacier and the glacier walk elevated us approx 600 m. Greatest experience with Gaute who is a highly experienced mountain guide with a great personality and a lot of humor. We highly recommend. Thank you, Gaute!

Gaute er en utrolig dyktig, trygg og kunnskapsrik brefører som gjorde turen både lærerik og morsom. Vi følte oss godt ivaretatt hele veien, og naturen var helt spektakulær. Dette var et av høydepunktene på turen vår – anbefales på det varmeste! 🏔️💙
