Buarbreen, Glacier arm in Ullensvang Municipality, Norway
The Buarbreen glacier extends into Buardalen valley, forming two distinct segments on opposite sides of a mountain peak, feeding the Jordalselvi river system.
During the 1890s, a mountain hotel operated near the glacier at Buer until 1897, when a powerful avalanche destroyed the structure completely.
The glacier pathway represents a significant route that connects the communities of Sundal and Odda, used by locals and travelers since the 1800s.
The hiking trail to Buarbreen covers 2.7 kilometers with an elevation gain of 420 meters, requiring good boots and approximately three hours for completion.
The glacier contributes to scientific research on climate patterns through continuous monitoring of its ice mass changes and meltwater production rates.
