Norway's longest toboggan run

"Norway's longest toboggan run" is a groomed road down from Hoven to Oppheim. Here you can toboggan with fantastic fjord views for a total of 8 kilometers, spread over approximately 700 vertical meters. The trip down brings smiles to the faces of young and old alike.

Please note that the road ends at Holme/Oppheim, 8 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). Those who rent a toboggan return the toboggan to the designated place where the toboggan run ends.

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). Children must always be accompanied by an adult.

Status of preparation can be found on this page.

Rent a toboggan, sled mat or bum board

You can hire toboggans, acemats and bum boards from Loen Active's mountain shop or order them online. If the mountain shop is closed, you can contact the Skylft team and he/she will help you (payment with Vipps). Helmets must be worn when tobogganing and are always included in the rental. For tobogganing to Oppheim, only toboggan and snowracer are recommended. Rented sledges and helmets can be returned to the designated area where the toboggan run ends. You can also rent winter clothing in the mountain shop.

Pre- or After-sledding in the restaurant

Enjoy the view from Hoven Restaurant with something to drink or bite into between sledging sessions. Here you will find the menu and a link to book a table.
