HIGHLIGHTS

Lodalen and the emerald green Lovatnet

Rakssetra (Oppheim)

Rakssetra is idyllically situated like a postcard on the mountainside towards Årheimsfjellet. This is a hike that has become very popular recently.

Bødalen and Bødalsetra

A beautiful mountain farm in wild nature - in Jostedalsbreen National Park. An easy and child-friendly hike.

Kayak and SUP on the fjord

The narrow, dramatic and quiet valley with the green lake is a sight of a lifetime.

Norway's easiest hike with Loen Skylift

The spectacular Loen Skylift lifts you a thousand meters almost straight up - to the restaurant on the edge of the mountain Hoven. Facilitated hiking trails of varying difficulty. Try ziplining across the gorge.

Skåla - Norway's longest uphill

Skåla, the beautiful giant, towers over Loenbygda. A hand-built path winds through the rough stone wall, 1848 vertical meters from the edge of the fjord.

Via Ferrata Loen

Via Ferrata Loen is a spectacular climbing path that is secured with wire all the way, and takes you to the top of Hoven at 1011 meters above sea level. You climb all the way with a magnificent view of the fjord, Lodalen, Oldedalen, majestic Skåla and the mountains towards Jostedalsbreen.

Swimming in Lake Lovatnet

Swim in the fresh, emerald green Lovatnet.

Boat trip on beautiful Lovatnet

Get off the bus at the quay in Sande and take the waterway all the way to the end of the valley. There you can enjoy a good meal and join the bus back to Loen. Advance booking is recommended as there is limited capacity on the boat.

National Romantic Breng

Just by Lovatnet is Breng seter. In the old days, this was a farm in its own right, but later became the seat of Sæten farm. There was traditional cottage farming here until around 1950. In the 1970s, this environment was in the process of decaying. Thanks to great efforts from the owners and public support, Breng seter was saved.

Kjenndalstova café and restaurant

A restaurant surrounded by stunning nature with a dramatic history to match. Here you can enjoy traditional food, and enjoy a coffee break.

Loen Play

A new little play universe for the little ones - in the middle of Loen

Experience Loen from a kayak on the Nordfjord. Loen Active offers guided tours in double kayaks almost all year round. The tour can also be combined with a hike.
