Description

Be sure to read the Special Notes further down this page for important requirements and restriction.

What you visit
- Kjenndalen Viewpoint
Enjoy a quick and easy hike through a wonderful landscape of steep mountains covered in flora set against a backdrop of blue sky and patches of snow. Located in Jostedalsbreen National Park, you can witness Kjenndalen's stunning beauty off in the distance from a picturesque viewpoint.
Please note that due to the recent avalanche in the Kjenndalen area, the visit to see the glacier will be replaced with a scenic tour through the Stryn Valley for all calls in 2022.

- Loen Skylift
Considered one of the world's steepest cable car rides, the Loen Skylift travels over, 3,300 feet from the fjord to the top of Mt. Hoven. Step inside the car, find your place beside one of the large viewing windows and after five to seven minutes you'll arrive at the cable car station atop the mountain. Walk out to the viewing platform and behold a world of breathtaking beauty. From this vantage point, you can see Mt. Skåla and Lake Lovatnet in the east, Jostedalsbreen Glacier and Olden in the south, and the Nordfjord, which winds its way towards Stryn in the west.

PHOTO OPPORTUNITY
Craggy mountains, dramatic fjords, and sparkling lakes are just a few of Mother Nature's treasures you'll want to capture on film.

WHAT YOU SEE ALONG THE WAY
As you steadily climb to the top of Mount Hoven you'll no doubt gasp at the sight of the majestic Jostedalsbreen Glacier. Framed by valleys with lush vegetation and bare mountains, the glacier stretches about 50 miles, making it the largest glacier in mainland Europe.

Special Notes:

Please note that for all calls in 2022 and due to the recent avalanche, the visit to the Kjenndalen Viewpoint will be replaced with a scenic drive through the beautiful Stryn Valley.
