Discover one of the steepest cable cars in the world
Norway’s new attraction has opened! Loen Skylift is located only 6 kilometers from the Port of Olden and takes you from the fjord to the top of Mt. Hoven (1011 meters) in only five minutes. Loen Skylift is one of the steepest cable cars in the world and offers a breathtaking and unforgettable view of the Norwegian fjord landscape.
After five airy minutes, you arrive at the Mountain Station and Hoven Restaurant, where you can enjoy a 210-degree panoramic view overlooking Mt. Skåla and Lake Lovatnet in the east, Jostedalsbreen Glacier and Olden in the south, and the Nordfjord that winds its way towards Stryn in the west.
Each cabin has room for 35 passengers. Loen Skylift runs continuously during operating hours without fixed departure times.
Breathtaking views of the fjord landscape
From Mount Hoven, you can explore the mountain on your own on a comprehensive network of trails on foot in the summer or skiing or snowshoeing in the winter. The possibilities are many — the choice is yours.
Olden Adventure offers a package including Loen Skylift and transfers directly to and from the cruise pier in Olden. Departures are on the hour from the pier and every half hour from Loen throughout the day as long as the ship is docked in Olden, giving you as much time as you wish in Loen.
Itinerary
- The shuttle bus goes between Olden and Loen.
- The ride on the bus takes about 10 minutes each way along the Nordfjord.

It will always be busy at the Skylift when big ships are visiting Olden. Early morning and afternoon is the time of the day when it is less busy. Olden Adventure and Loen Skylift are in close co-operation and we always strive to keep the queues to less than one hour. There are a limited number of tickets for sale as a result of this.

Staff from Olden Adventure are always in contact with Loen Skylift at the end of the day to ensure that all customers have made it back down before the shuttle bus service stops. Last shuttle bus is scheduled to leave Loen Skylift 20 minutes before you must be back onboard.
