Ski touring
The Loen Skylift takes you up 1011 vertical meters, so you can start your skiing trip with fresh and prepared legs. A fantastic mountain landscape opens up from Hoven, and you have many possible peaks to choose from, and even more descents. We recommend a guide on the tour. Breogfjell has internationally certified mountain guides and offers guided tours from Loen Skylift. If you're planning a trip on your own, it's crucial that you have the necessary skills for safe travel in the winter mountains. Check the avalanche forecast before you set out on a trip, and use avalanche equipment. Here you can find general information about safety in the Norwegian mountains.
Guided summit tour with Breogfjell IFMGA summit guides
Breogfjell and other guide companies offer guided summit tours from Loen Skylift, and below we present options of varying difficulty and length.
Short hike
From the top station you walk 150 vertical meters to Skredfjellet. From here you can choose different descents from between 300 to 1000 meters depending on snow and weather conditions, and skill level.
Medium to long hike
From the top station, you must first walk 400 meters to Staurinibba. This summit offers a 600 meter descent with fjord views to Lohøgsætra. From here, you can either go back up to Hoven, and continue the descent to Loen, or climb Sundshyrna, Dispahyrna or Geitafjellshyrna again. These peaks offer up to 1600 vertical meters of descent to Strynedalen (the opposite side of Loen), and at the end of the day you will have skied over 2000 meters down and only gone up 1400.
Very long hike
Hoven - Storskredfjellet traverse. If you've driven down from Strynefjellet, you're sure to have noticed the strikingly beautiful mountain peak with the diamond-shaped glacier that towers over Oppstryn: Storskredfjellet (1814 meters above sea level). Breogfjell can take you skiing down the glacier below the mountain. The tour offers several choices. It is also possible to add several shorter descents and ascents in several of the valleys and runs you pass on the traverse towards Storskredfjellet.
