Mount Hoven Hiking & Loen Skylift Experience
Mount Hoven Hiking & Loen Skylift Experience
5 hours 45 minutes
Cable car ride on top & hiking with panoramic views of the fjords.
Today you are going to experience Nordfjord and its highlights: Mount Hoven and Loen Skylift. Hop on a comfortable bus that will take you from the port and on a beautiful tour of the Nordfjord area along the famous Lake Hornindal.
Upon arrival in Loen, you will board the Skylift that will take you to the top of Mount Hoven. Loen Skylift is a spectacular attraction in the inner part of Nordfjord. A cable car takes you from the fjord to 1011 meters above sea level in just several minutes. From the top station and restaurant you have a 210-degree panoramic view of Mount Skåla and Lake Lovatnet to the east, the Jostedalsbreen glacier and the village of Olden to the south, and the North Fjord winding its way towards Stryn. Enjoy the view of the fjord landscape!
The focus of the project is on universal design so that everyone can explore the mountains. Environmental aspects also play an important role in this project.
At the summit you experience a guided hike. There is a 170-meter ascent on the first part of the walk, with stone steps on the steepest stretches. Furthest east, you will walk close to the edge of Tungegjølet gully, but you can walk on safely by sticking to the path. Enjoy the views of the fjord, mountains and glacier at the highest point. You will see the mountains near Sunnmøre in the north and Jostedalsbreen National Park in the southeast. The path continues west through alpine terrain. Here you continue on a gravel path that takes you back to the start at Hoven.
After a hiking part you will rejuvenate at the Hoven Restaurant where you will savor a refreshing drink before free time.
After a stay in Loen, the bus will pick you up and take you back to Nordfjordeid harbor.
