The programme

• We leave the Olden port by coach and head North along the fjord to reach the small town of Loen 6 km away.
• We get on the main attraction - the Loen Skylift, a modern cable car with glass cabins that in just 5 minutes takes us on the top of the Hoven mountain 1,011 metres above sea level.
• The skylift will stop at the Mountain Station, from where we can enjoy striking 210° views: to the East, we can admire Mount Skåla and Lake Lovatnet; to the South, we have the majestic Jostedalsbreen glacier with the town of Olden; to the West, the Nordfjord winds its way towards Stryn.
• From the Mountain Station, we go on a hike to discover the unspoilt wild nature of the mountain ranges surrounding the Nordfjord, where Nature reigns supreme.
