Seasonal opening Via Ferrata Loen May 1
Loen Active is now making a final push to prepare Via Ferrata Loen for its seasonal opening on May 1. A lot of maintenance has been done since the facility closed in the fall, and now only a little snow needs to be removed before they can open.
Via Ferrata Loen is a climbing trail secured with wire to the mountain. The climbing route takes you to the top of Hoven at 1011 meters above sea level, with a phenomenal view of Lodalen, Oldedalen, straight down to Loen, Skåla and the mountains towards Jostedalsbreen. As part of the route, you can cross the Gjølmunne Bridge, the longest via ferrata bridge in Europe. The bridge is 750 meters above sea level, is 120 meters long and goes over the 160 meter deep lake. The trip will definitely give you summer butterflies in your stomach. If you're ready for a real challenge, you can climb the new extreme route "Ragnarok" - the toughest via ferrata route in Norway. Return with Loen Skylift or on foot via the construction road to Holme (7 km) + possibly back to Loen (total 12 km).
In the first round, route 1 will open, then the rest will follow.
