Norway's longest toboggan run is popular
"Norway's longest toboggan run" is a prepared path down from Hoven to Oppheim. Here you ride with fantastic fjord views for a full eight kilometers, divided into about 700 meters of altitude. The trip down brings big smiles to both young and old.
Bring your own toboggan or sled, or camp on top. Sledges can be rented in the mountain shop of Loen Active. If the mountain shop is closed, you can contact the course guide and he/she will help you (payment with Vipps). Helmets must be worn when tobogganing and are always included in the rental. Rented sledges and helmets can be returned to the designated place where the toboggan run ends. You can also rent winter clothing in the mountain shop.
The road ends at Holme/Oppheim, 7 km from the fjord station to Loen Skylift. There is a parking lot at Holme (for a fee). Most people choose to park a car at Holme, arrange "shuttling" with friends/family or order a taxi (Stryn Taxi +47 57 87 23 50, Olden Taxi +47 950 86 146). Residents at Hotel Alexandra can book a pick-up in advance at reception (NOK 100 p.p.). Those who rent a toboggan return the toboggan to the designated place where the toboggan run ends.
The season usually lasts from December to April. On skisporet.no you will find updated status for the tracing of the trails.
NB: All traffic on the groomed road to Oppheim is at your own risk. Follow the avalanche warning, show consideration and adapt your speed. You may encounter skiers, hikers, sledgers and machines along the road. Helmets must be worn when sledging (including when renting a toboggan).
