Norway's longest toboggan run

"Norway's longest toboggan run" is a prepared construction road down from Hoven to Oppheim. Here you ride with fantastic fjord views for a full eight kilometers, spread over 700 meters in altitude. The ride down will bring big smiles to both young and old.

Note that the construction road ends at Holme/Oppheim, six km from the fjord station of Loen Skylift. There is a parking lot at Holme (for a fee). Most people choose to park a car at Holme, arrange a shuttle with friends/family or order a taxi (Stryn Taxi +47 57 87 23 50, Olden Taxi +47 950 86 146). Those who rent a sled should return it to the designated place where the sledge slope ends at Holme.

You may encounter skiers, hikers, sledders and machinery along the construction road. Helmets must be worn when sledding (included in sled rental). Children must always be accompanied by adults.
