Nordfjordeid

The view will leave you breathless: the peaks that stand out seem to dive in where the Atlantic ocean gets colder and colder. Moving in the innermost part of the fjord it is possible to admire the wonderful glaciers and the Hornindalsvatnet, the deepest lake in Europe (514 meters). Its point of maximum width is 4 kilometres, it’s 22 kilometers  long and it’s about 400 kilometres away from Oslo, the capital city.

 

You can reach Loen Skylift with an excursion. The cable car transports visitors at 1.011 meters, on Mount Hoven. The trip is really fast, in just 5 minutes you will get to the top and enjoy a breathtaking panoramic view: to the east you can admire Lovatnet Lake, Mount Skåla (1.848 meters), and the Jostedalsbreen glaciers; Olden to the south and Nordfjord to the west. From the cableway there is a series of paths to the discovery of Mount Hoven, by foot in summer and with snowshoes in winter.
