Do visit the Brævasshytta, built into the moraine of Bøyabreen glacier's latest major advance, even if it's only for a cup of coffee. With the glacier right there and in your face, it's like you're in an IMAX cinema – only it's real. Simple meals such as meatballs, grilled chicken, sandwiches and burgers are on offer throughout the day and evening.
